Leeds United have confirmed manager Marcelo Bielsa’s decision to stay at the club for another season.

Bielsa led Leeds to finish in third place, a big improvement on 13th the year before.

Now he is ready for another crack at winning promotion.

The Yorkshire Evening Post report Bielsa has already set his top transfer priority, and that is to strengthen on the wings.

Leeds’s wingers did not make much impact last season, and now Jack Harrison has returned to Manchester City after his loan spell.

It is also claimed that Bielsa has also ordered three behind the scenes improvements at the Thorp Arch training ground.

It’s reported he wants the swimming pool recommissioned for the first time since the Massimo Cellino era, for the training rooms to be remodelled to match Elland Road, and for an improved camera system to record and relay training ground footage quicker for analysis.

These are all actions of a man who is thinking deeply about moving Leeds forward, and not simply giving the task a cursory glance. Bielsa is notoriously meticulous and Leeds should expect nothing less.
