New Leeds boss Bielsa turned up for his first day of work at Elland Road on Monday.
Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has welcomed new manager Marcelo Bielsa to Elland Road on Instagram after the Argentine turned up to Thorp Arch for his first day of work as Leeds manager.
The 62-year-old becomes Radrizzani’s fourth manager since the Italian bought a stake in the Yorkshire giants, along with Garry Monk, Thomas Christiansen and Paul Heckingbottom.
Bielsa brings with him a wealth of footballing experience after spells with Athletic Bilbao, Marseille and Lazio, as well as on the international scene with Chile and Argentina.

He is respected as one of the footballing godfathers who re-invented the pressing style of football and has drawn praise from Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola in the past. Radrizzani welcomed him to Elland Road on Instagram.
Bielsa’s last spell in management came in France with Ligue 1 side Lille, but that only lasted a matter of months. The Argentine will be looking to renew his excellent reputation in football at Leeds.
Fans will now be hopeful that installing a manager of Bielsa’s calibre will finally see Leeds end their 14-year spell in the Football League and finally regain promotion to the top tier of English football.
