No Language Barrier Could Keep Marcelo's Bielsa Magic From Touching Leeds United

As Leeds United continues to celebrate earning automatic promotion to the Premier League and winning England's second-tier Championship, the club, its fans and the city only have one hero in mind to thank: Marcelo Bielsa.

Once Huddersfield defeated West Brom last Friday (which was followed by Brentford’s loss to Stoke the following day to clinch a first-place finish) the celebrations began. Locals gathered outside Bielsa’s house to thank him, fans rallied around Elland Road to kick off the festivities and it was revealed that a street inside the city center has been named after the eccentric Argentine.
