Leeds United boss has been praised for his generosity.
Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has been praised after donating a signed shirt to a charity event in Chile.
Bielsa was the former Chile national team boss, managing the team at the World Cup.
Bielsa sent a signed Ezgjan Alioski shirt to Chile’s Telethon 2018, an annual event which has been running since 1978.
Argentine outlet Ole praised Bielsa for his ‘solidarity’ with Chile.
The report states the kit was auctioned at 50,000 Chilean pesos, and ended up being sold for 350,000. This equates to over £400.
It was just a small gesture from the Leeds United boss, but a kind one all the same.
Bielsa is also attracting praise in Argentina for his personal investment to build former side Newell’s Old Boys a new training ground.
The Leeds boss’ popularity in Yorkshire is huge. In South America he remains revered as a legendary figure, and his generosity is one of the reasons why.
