Leeds 'preparing' for if Bielsa leaves, but Radrizzani hopes manager will decide to stay

Leeds United have made preparations for Marcelo Bielsa's potential exit from the club, admits Andrea Radrizzani, but the Whites chairman remains optimistic the Argentine will remain at Elland Road for another year.

Former Atletico Club boss Bielsa joined Leeds in something of a coaching coup back in 2018, and guided them back to the Premier League last season after two years at the helm.

The 64-year-old, however, is famously averse to committing himself to a long-term contract, with his current deal set to expire in the summer, but Radrizzani, along with director of football Victor Orta, remains hopeful he will stay.
