Speaking on the BBC Radio 5 Live Football Daily Podcast, Robert Snodgrass has been full of praise for Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa.

Snodgrass was speaking about the Scotland squad, and he inevitably got onto the topic of Liam Cooper.

Snodgrass says that Cooper is playing under one of the Premier League’s best bosses in the shape of Bielsa.

What’s been said?

Snodgrass was keen to praise Bielsa when speaking about Cooper and the Scotland squad.

“We’ve got strength in depth, we have youth, we have players who have won Champions Leagues and Premier Leagues. You have lads who have won the league this year at Rangers, lads at Celtic. Look at Liam Cooper, he’s playing under one of the best managers in the Premier League for me,” Snodgrass said.

He’s not wrong

Snodgrass certainly isn’t wrong about Bielsa being one of the best managers in England.

The Argentine was nominated for Manager of the Season for a reason, and the fact that he got a newly-promoted Leeds side into the top-half shows just how good he has been.

Bielsa doesn’t just play winning football, he has his side playing some of the most aesthetically pleasing styles in the Premier League.

Cooper is certainly a player who has benefitted from Bielsa’s arrival at Elland Road and he’s now set to be a key player for Scotland at the Euros this summer.
