According to The Athletic’s Philip Buckingham, Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa believes to be distracted by contract extension talks would be a dereliction of his duties, with fixtures still to be played.
The Whites have two more Premier League games left in the campaign, and the Argentine wants to remain fully focused ahead of the tasks.
With just a few months left on his current contract, Bielsa has been linked with the Tottenham Hotspur job as Jose Mourinho’s potential replacement, while Leeds have reportedly contacted AS Roma manager Paulo Fonseca as they make contingency plans should the 65-year-old walk away.
