Leeds United boss inspires crazy act.
Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has quickly become a hero to fans of the club.
Back home in his native Argentina he is even more revered, and the latest story in national newspaper Ole shows just how.
Ole report how one crazed fan named Roberto Carlos Perez became so determined to work for Bielsa, he took extreme measures.
Perez reportedly put together a CV and research of the current football market, and set off on Christmas Eve in hope of trying to find a contact who could put him in touch with Bielsa.
The 34-year-old ended up cycling a 800 kilometre round journey by bike to Bielsa’s home town of Rosario, where he eventually sent in the direction of a village where the manager’s sister-in-law lived.
He gave her his CV and research by hand, and told Ole: “At least I can say that I did not stay still, I tried and I can sleep peacefully.”
Perez hopes his efforts will be appreciated by the Leeds boss and it will lead to a job in football, even if it is not with him at Elland Road.
The tale highlights the impact the inspirational manager has sparked during his career, and there will be a lot more fans obsessed with him if Leeds end up winning promotion this season.
