Leeds United fans could soon see Marcelo Bielsa back in English football as he targets a Premier League job this summer.
That’s according to The Sun, who claim that Bielsa is making moves to try and get back into management.
It’s stated that Bielsa has tasked allies with finding him a home in England again.
Clubs in Europe and even South America have been contacting Bielsa but he is focused on returning to England.
Bielsa did hold talks with Everton in January but with a view to managing their Under-21’s before stepping up to the first team this summer.
Everton didn’t fancy that plan and instead went with Sean Dyche.
Bielsa wasn’t keen to take on a job midway through the season and prefers to wait until the summer to land a new job.
Marcelo Bielsa could manage against Leeds United
This would tee up the hellish scenario for Leeds fans – Bielsa managing against the Whites.
The Argentinian is a Leeds hero forever having guided the club back to the Premier League.
Sadly, Bielsa’s nearly four-year spell at Elland Road came to an end last year with Leeds in danger of going down.
Leeds aren’t exactly safe right now either but will hope to stay in the Premier League – and that could mean facing Bielsa.
Whites fans really won’t want to see that but it could be a reality very soon.
Bournemouth have been interested in Bielsa in recent times and you can’t rule out another attempt from the Cherries this summer.
West Ham United, Leicester City and Crystal Palace could also end up making changes this summer, so Bielsa could be very appealing to a number of clubs.
Taking a chance on El Loco comes with its fair share of risks but he represents an exciting opportunity for somebody in the Premier League.
