Jonathan Woodgate has said on Stadium Astro that Leeds United fans would not want to change Marcelo Bielsa as their head coach.

The former Leeds central defender believes that fans of the West Yorkshire club are delighted that Bielsa is in charge of the team.

Woodgate has hailed the football that Leeds are playing under the Argentine, and has said that it is fantastic to watch.

The former defender said on Stadium Astro: “It is fantastic to watch it as a neutral and as a Leeds fan. You can guarantee them Leeds fans are absolutely delighted he is in charge because the football their team plays is exceptional.”

Marcelo Bielsa is a Leeds United legend

It would be hard to find too many Leeds fan who are not happy with Bielsa and the way the team are playing, although there was one supporter who called talkSPORT and said that he wanted the Argentine to leave.

True, the Whites suffered heavy defeats to Manchester United and Crystal Palace, but they ran Liverpool close, held Manchester City to a draw, and absolutely hammered Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion.

There have been calls for Bielsa to change his style and have a Plan B, but there is no need for that, as under the Argentine, Leeds have succeeded with the current way.
