Angus Kinnear gives update on Marcelo Bielsa future at Leeds
Leeds United’s chief executive Angus Kinnear has confirmed that manager Marcelo Bielsa is “very, very close” to agreeing a new deal with them.
With the 65-year-old out of contract this summer at Elland Road, the supporters have been waiting patiently for confirmation that he will still be in charge for the upcoming 2020/21 season.
The Argentine boss has cemented himself in the Leeds history books after guiding the Whites to promotion from the Championship, as they clinched the league title and secured a return to the Premier League.
They begin the new season in September with a trip to Merseyside against defending champions Liverpool, while their first home game comes a week later against another newly-promoted side in Fulham.
Kinnear has explained that he sees there being no issue for Leeds when it comes to rubber stamping Bielsa’s new deal and he is waiting for the “appropriate window” with him to get his future resolved.
“He [Bielsa] is very, very close [to extending his future]. The challenge with Marcelo is trying to find time, he is constantly at the training ground, working with the team, doing his analytics, i just need to find an appropriate window to get the paper in front of him and for him to sign. We don’t foresee any challenges,”
TBR’s View – Bielsa the Leeds superstar
Many Leeds players will be making the step up to the top-flight for the first time in their careers and they may not be a star-studded group, but they’ve been moulded into a relentless side by Bielsa that are going to surprise many teams in the Premier League.
There is no doubt that highly-rated boss Bielsa is the star of the show at Elland Road and he’s made such a colossal impact during a two-year spell with Leeds, which is why it will be a relief to fans that he’s on the verge of agreeing a new deal.
He’s overseen vast improvements of so many individuals in the past couple of seasons and he will stick to his high intense pressing style.
