Leeds United fans are excited about possibly getting Marcelo Bielsa and Abel Hernandez.
Leeds United fans on Twitter reckon that Marcelo Bielsa’s potential appointment could increase the likelyhood of Abel Hernandez joining this summer.
Leeds are on the search for a new head coach after sacking Paul Heckingbottom on Friday.
The Yorkshire Evening Post has reported that United owner Andrea Radrizzani is now targeting the Argentine manager, who has previously taken charge of Lille, Lazio, Marseille and Athletic Bilbao to name but a few.
Hiring the 62-year-old would be a huge coup for the Championship club who, according to The YEP, are also keen on signing Hernandez.
Like Bielsa, Uruguay-born Hernandez is a South American, and fans of the West Yorkshire outfit reckon that the veteran’s profile and background could give Leeds an advantage in the race to sign the out-of-contract hitman, who once commanded a £10.7 million transfer fee.
It seems very likely that Hernandez will leave Hull City, though there is still time for the Tigers to try and convince him to sign a new deal.
But even if Leeds get Bielsa and miss out on the 27-year-old, the Argentine’s profile will surely make it a lot easier to sign big-name players going forward.
