The Sheffield Wednesday forward seems to be fond of Leeds United’s manager.
Some Leeds United supporters are taunting their Sheffield Wednesday counterparts over Fernando Forestieri.
The Wednesday forward, who claimed to have rejected Leeds to join their Yorkshire rivals four years ago, shared photos of himself and the Whites manager, Marcelo Bielsa, on Instagram on Friday.
Forestieri’s post also included a quote from Bielsa’s time as Marseille boss, on the theme of injustice.
It came less than 24 hours after the 29-year-old was found not guilty of racially harassing the Mansfield Town defender, Krystian Pearce, during a pre-season friendly.
And while several Owls fans weren’t best pleased with Forestieri’s online activity, those of a Leeds persuasion saw it a little differently.
This is how they reacted…
The Sheffield Wednesday number 45 was born and raised in Rosario, the Argentine city in which Bielsa is still revered for his spell in charge of Newell’s Old Boys nearly 30 years ago.
And it is not the first time this season that Forestieri has referenced his compatriot on social media, having also shown his admiration after Leeds’ opening day win against Stoke.
Would the Sheffield Wednesday man be a good addition for Leeds?
