Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa was this week linked to a job at Atlanta United.
Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa was this week linked with a job at MLS side Atlanta United, The Sun reported.
It appears there is little chance of him leaving Leeds, who are in the automatic promotion spots in the Championship after 21 games.
For Leeds, this is simply part of the package for Bielsa.
He is a globally renowned name, that’s why Leeds went for him in the first place and agreed to pay him a £2 million a year salary.
He will want to see through his project at Leeds, and fans should not sweat the reported interest.
After all, this is the fifth job Bielsa has been linked to since he started at Leeds.
He was touted for the Saudi Arabia national job shortly after joining Leeds [via Le10Sport], while Sporting Lisbon reportedly considered him for a role [via Record].
Chilean side Colo Colo reportedly wanted him [via ADN], and he was repeatedly mentioned as a candidate for the Mexico national team, with Fox Sports Chile reporting he turned it down.
There’s a reason he is in demand, as Leeds’ league position testifies.
The interest is part of what Leeds signed up for, and they shouldn’t worry about it.
