Leeds United reportedly expect to keep Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road, whatever happens.

Leeds fans on Twitter are excited about the prospect of keeping Marcelo Bielsa next season, irrespective of whether he wins Premier League promotion.

According to The Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds are ‘confident’ of keeping Bielsa at Elland Road beyond this summer.

The Argentine coach has been a revelation since joining United last July but failure to win the playoffs would result in speculation about his future in West Yorkshire.

But it seems like the Whites are confident of retaining his services whatever happens over the coming weeks and suffice to say Leeds fans are loving that prospect.

Leeds fans are right to be excited. Bielsa is the best thing to happen to the club in the post-Premier League era and keeping him on board is massive.

Bielsa’s side drew 1-1 with Aston Villa in a stormy game at Elland Road on Sunday to consign themselves to the playoffs, having surrendered their automatic promotion bid over the Easter.

But if the 63-year-old can restore morale and confidence over the coming week then there’s no reason to believe that they wouldn’t still make their top-flight return after a 15-year absence.
