Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani reportedly contacted Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce among others.
According to Gianlucadimarzio.com, Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani has decided that Marcelo Bielsa is the right man for the managerial role at the club.
Leeds are on the hunt for a new head coach following the departure of Paul Heckingbottom earlier today.
The Championship club’s chairman, Radrizzani, has reportedly decided that the Argentine is the right manager for the club.
According to Gianlucadimarzio.com, the Italian businessman made contact with four other managers – Italian duo Filippo Inzaghi and Claudio Ranieri, Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce and former Argentina international defensive midfielder Matias Almeyda, who is in charge of Mexican club Guadalajara at the moment.
The report has also claimed that talks between Bielsa and Leeds are going on, and that the Whites are confident that a final agreement will be agreed this weekend.
Good decision?
Bielsa is one of the most innovative football managers in the world and is a blockbuster name.
Appointing the 62-year-old would be a massive coup for Leeds, who will be aiming to finish in the top six of the Championship next season.
If Bielsa is given the funds and is backed in the summer transfer window, then it could well be a successful 2018-19 campaign for the West Yorkshire outfit.
