Bielsa will reportedly considering leaving his role at Elland Road if the Whites fail to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2004.

Warning from Danny Mills

Danny Mills has been quoted as saying by The Mirror that Leeds could lose Bielsa if the Whites fail to clinch promotion to the Premier League.

The former Leeds right-back believes that the Argentine coach has done an incredible job at Elland Road.

The Mirror quotes Mills as saying: “If they don’t go up, I fear Bielsa will ­either be poached or he will just go. What he’s done is still incredible, ­because it’s ­virtually the same group of players as last season.”

Worry for Leeds United?

What Bielsa has done at Leeds this season has been superb and the Elland Road faithful love their head coach, but there is a danger that the campaign could end badly.

If Leeds do fail to clinch promotion, then it is going to be hard for the Whites to convince Bielsa to stay at Elland Road and do it all over again.
