Marcelo Bielsa has left Leeds United after three-and-a-half years in charge.

The Argentine departs after a poor run of form, with just one point gained from the last 18 on offer, and with the side two points above the Premier League relegation zone and in serious danger of going down.

Former RB Leipzig manager Jesse Marsch is in contention to replace Bielsa - the highest-paid manager in the club's history - at Elland Road.

The 66-year-old was appointed in June 2018 after Paul Heckingbottom's sacking, and has led the club for more than three full seasons, ending a run of eight managers in the previous three-and-a-half years.
