Bielsa has won four of his five games in charge of Leeds United.
Marcelo Bielsa has rejected the chance to take over the Mexican national team on account of his commitment to Leeds United, according to Fox Sports Chile.
Bielsa has led Leeds to the top of the Championship – and a near perfect start – in his first four league games in charge.
And that is justifying the Whites’ apparent decision to insert a $10 million (7.7 million) termination clause into the Argentine’s contract.
But even if that figure was to be met by Femexfut – the Mexican football association – Bielsa is said to have ruled himself out of contention as he ‘does not want to discredit’ Leeds.
Bielsa previously enjoyed successful spells in charge of the Argentine and Chilean national teams.
Mexico are looking for a permanent successor to Juan Carlos Osorio, however, it is claimed Ricardo Ferretti – who is not interested in a long-term role – could take the reins on an interim basis.
Is there a danger of Bielsa being prised away from Leeds?
