Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa will sign a new contract with the club, according to The Mirror.

Bielsa is out of contract at Leeds this summer, but the Argentine will reportedly put pen to paper on a new deal.

The 65-year-old has agreed in principle on a 12-month contract, which will be announced this week, according to the report.

This is wonderful for Leeds fans.

Bielsa has been in charge of the Whites since 2018 and is a legend already among the Elland Road faithful.

The Argentine guided Leeds to promotion from the Championship at the end of last season.

Then this season, Leeds finished as high as ninth in the Premier League table.

The West Yorkshire outfit play wonderful football and score a lot of goals.

In fact, Leeds found the back of the net as many as 62 times in 38 Premier League games this season.

That’s more than Arsenal, Everton, Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

Liverpool, who won the Premier League in 2019-20, scored only six more goals than Leeds this season.

Perhaps under Bielsa next season, Leeds will be looking to at least challenge for the Premier League top six.
