Leeds United captain Liam Cooper has said to the Telegraph that he believes Marcelo Bielsa will be staying at Elland Road.

Bielsa is yet to pen a new contract with Leeds, despite all their success this season.

That has led to some concerns forming around whether Bielsa could depart.

The Argentine always leaves sorting his future until the last minute, and although there is no reason for Leeds supporters to panic, everyone at the club would likely be more relaxed if he did put pen to paper.

But Cooper has no concerns heading into the summer, and fully believes that Leeds current boss will still be in place.

“I’m totally confident Marcelo will stay,” he said “No doubt at all. He loves the boys, we all want him to stay and I’m sure he will. He loves the club, he loves the city, he loves the people and he loves it here.

“It’s the longest he has been at a club and that speaks volumes for the club, the city and how much he thinks of it. I think he can also see how far he can take this team, we’ve got an amazing group of lads who he can coach and improve. As long as he sees that, he will stay for as long as he can.”

If Bielsa does commit his future it will give Leeds fans a big reason to celebrate.

The 65-year-old boss has done a truly remarkable job since arriving in Yorkshire, and his methods have made a huge impact in the Premier League.

Leeds are currently sat in the top half of the table, which represents brilliant progress for a side who were promoted less than a year ago.
