Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa is set to have a street named after him after he led the club to Premier League promotion.

The Yorkshire side have endured a 16-year long exodus from the English topflight after suffering relegation back in 2004.

Bielsa's side secured promotion and the Championship title without kicking a ball as West Brom's shock defeat to Huddersfield and Brentford loss to Stoke City left them at the summit of the second division and crowned champions of the league.
