Tim Sherwood has said on Sky Sports that Leeds United should bring back Marcelo Bielsa, who reportedly turned down the chance to take charge of Everton before Sean Dyche went in at Goodison Park.

Sherwood believes that the Leeds fans love Bielsa, and the former Tottenham Hotspur manager thinks that the Argentine is the right man to get the team out of trouble.

Earlier this afternoon, Leeds announced that they have sacked Jesse Marsch as their manager.

Marsch has been relieved of his duties after a run of poor results.

Leeds are now in real danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.

The Daily Mail reported last month that Everton held talks with Bielsa to become their new manager.

However, the Argentine boss reportedly turned down the chance to take charge of the Toffees.

Everton eventually appointed former Burnley manager Dyche.

Back to Elland Road?

We think that it would be sensational if Marcelo Bielsa came back to Leeds United.

Every single Leeds fan would take back the Argentine.

And we believe that the players would love him back at Elland Road as well.

Bielsa is a legend at Leeds, and he worked with a number of the current players.

It would not be a bad idea for Leeds to try to speak to Bielsa and see if he would be open to a return to the West Yorkshire club even though he was sacked last season.
