Why does Bielsa use a translator in Leeds United interviews?

The idiosyncrasies of Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa are a relatively new experience for many fans of English football, but people are mostly familiar with him now.

We know why he sits on a bucket (or stool) during games or why he earned the nickname 'El Loco' and we are familiar with the concept of 'murderball'.

However, the fact that he continues to use a translator for interviews, despite living and working in England since 2018, is something that makes less sense to people the longer he does it.
