After three fantastic years with Leeds United, the club have confirmed this morning that they have parted company with head coach Marcelo Bielsa.



The 66-year-old was in charge of the team for over three-and-a-half years, having taken the reins in June 2018.

He transformed the club’s fortunes on the pitch, which began with the 3-1 demolition of Stoke City at Elland Road two months later and he led Leeds to the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs in his first full season in charge.

In his second campaign Bielsa succeeded where those before him had failed, guiding the club to the Sky Bet Championship title, winning the division by 10 points, and resulting in promotion back to the Premier League for the first time in 16 years.
