Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa worked with Andre Ayew during his time in France.
One attribute that Marcelo Bielsa has shown in abundance during his time at Leeds is loyalty to his players, with the Whites boss rarely dropping a player due to form and often standing by those who may be struggling or coming in for criticism.
It is not difficult to see why some players love playing under the Argentinian. His track record for transforming players is remarkable, and the football that his team plays is about as exciting as it gets in the Championship.
And judging by one photo from Leeds’ clash with Swansea at the weekend, it appears that Andre Ayew is one of those players who has very fond memories from his time working with the Whites boss…
The pair appear to be enjoying a nice moment on the touchline as they were reunited on the pitch for the first time since the end of the 2014/15 season.
It was during the full season he worked under Bielsa that Ayew enjoyed one of his best campaigns for the Ligue 1 side, scoring 10 goals in 27 league games. That proved to be his final season before he joined the Swans for the first time.
And Bielsa proved to be not too far behind him heading out the Stade Velodrome door, leaving just one game into the new campaign.
They may have only worked together for one season and may have been rivals on Saturday, but the photo hints at the admiration that the two men have for each other with Bielsa once again showing the loyalty that he has to those who have played under him during his managerial career.
