Marcelo Bielsa 'Set to Resign' Over Spygate Row as Leeds Call Emergency Press Conference

Marcelo Bielsa has called an emergency press conference at Leeds United's Thorp Arch training ground, with some sources reporting that he may resign following last week's 'spygate' saga.

Bielsa claimed responsibility after a Leeds employee was caught spying on a Derby County training session before last Friday's match at Elland Road, which Bielsa's team won 2-0.

The EFL confirmed on Tuesday that they will be investigating the matter following an official complaint from Derby, and Leeds are expected to address the accusations in tonight's press conference, which has been scheduled for 5pm.

Onefootball is reporting that the press conference has been called because Bielsa intends to step down as manager of the Championship leaders.
