Neil Redfearn is a fan of Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa.

Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa watches on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Sheffield United at Elland Road on March 16, 2019 in Leeds, England.

Neil Redfearn has described Leeds United’s Marcelo Bielsa as a ‘top boss’ on Twitter.

Bielsa has been a revelation since taking the reins at Leeds last summer.

The Whites are third in the Championship but have spent most of this season in one of the two automatic promotion spots.

The renowned Argentine, who has managed Athletic Bilbao and his country’s national team in the past, is very possibly the man to end United’s 15-year Premier League exile, with his side just one point behind second-placed Sheffield United with eight games left.

Bielsa has also courted praise for showing a tremendous amount of faith in young players this season, with 18-year-old Jack Clarke coming from nowhere to establish himself as one of England’s most exciting teenagers.

And it looks like former Leeds boss Redfearn is a big fan of the 63-year-old.

The Elland Road host Millwall in West Yorkshire on Saturday, following the international break.
