Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa on the cusp of being sacked

Marcelo Bielsa is on the brink of being sacked as manager of Leeds United after a fourth straight loss in which his side were booed for the first time at Elland Road.

American Jesse Marsch, most recently in charge of RB Leipzig, is in line to replace the Argentine, who admitted following Saturday's 4-0 defeat by Spurs that his players were losing confidence in him.

Bielsa took over at Leeds in 2018 and guided them to the Championship title in his second season before securing Premier League survival with a ninth-placed finish.

However, Leeds have conceded 20 times in their last five matches and have taken just one point from 18 to leave them two above the relegation zone.
