Marcelo Bielsa has given an emotional address to the Leeds players and staff this morning ahead of his departure.
The 66-year old gathered the squad together at around 9.15am to bid farewell after his sacking on Sunday.
Sportsmail understands he wanted to talk to them as a group rather than on a more emotionally-charged individual basis.
Despite strain telling on some relationships after a draining run of results, Bielsa is still viewed with huge respect within the dressing room for the work he has done and the coaching he has imbued in his players.
