Marcelo Bielsa is the shock name being linked with the manager’s position at Leeds United and, if his first meeting with Mauricio Pochettino is anything to go by, the players at Elland Road are in for a culture shock.
The former Marseille manager is renowned for his somewhat unusual methods of training and you will be hard-pressed to find a more bizarre story than when he signed the current Tottenham Hotspur boss.
In 1985, Bielsa was working in youth development for Newell’s Old Boys when he visited the Pochettino family household in the town of Murphy, Sante Fe.
