Marcelo Bielsa has hailed League One and League Two as the 'essence of English football' as he joined calls for the sport's authorities to save the lower divisions.
The future of the football pyramid has come into the spotlight this week after it emerged FA chairman Greg Clarke had floated proposals for a Premier League 2 and B teams to enter the EFL, who have still not agreed a bailout from the Premier League.
But Leeds boss Bielsa, who has experience of B teams from his time managing Athletic Bilbao in Spain, says what makes English football special must be protected.
