A highly-rated coach who has previously spent time with Espanyol, Marseille and Lazio is the man charged with the task of overseeing a promotion push
Leeds United have confirmed the appointment of former Argentina and Marseille boss Marcelo Bielsa as their new manager on a two-year contract.
The highly-rated 62-year-old, who has previously spent time with Athletic Bilbao and Lazio, has inherited the reins at Elland Road in the wake of Paul Heckingbottom’s departure.
Bielsa, who has been out of work since leaving Ligue 1 side Lille in December 2017, will be charged with the task of returning Leeds to the Premier League.
