Marcelo Bielsa has left Leeds United after three-and-a-half years in charge.

The Argentine departs after a poor run of form, with just one point gained from the last 18 on offer, and with the side two points above the Premier League relegation zone and in serious danger of going down.

Former RB Leipzig manager Jesse Marsch is in contention to replace Bielsa - the highest-paid manager in the club's history - at Elland Road, with the club aiming to make an announcement on his successor on Monday.
