Leeds United: Marcelo Bielsa is no longer the manager of the English team.
As we had announced from 90min on Saturday afternoon, after the ‘Loco’ team lost by a landslide against Conte’s Tottenham, the Leeds club announced this Sunday morning that the Argentine coach will no longer be in charge of the team with which he was promoted to the Premier League last season.
The institution shared a fairly extensive statement on its social networks announcing the decision.
“Leeds United confirms that the club and Bielsa will no longer work together.
The 66-year-old coach was in charge of the team for three and a half years, starting in June 2018.
He changed the fortunes of the team on the field of play, since his first victory in his debut, 3-1 against Stoke City at Elland Road, the same stadium where months later he would be playing the playoffs to go up to the first division. .
In his second campaign, Bielsa succeeded where he had failed the previous year and gave the team its Championship title, taking 10 points away from his escort and leading the team to the Premier League, after 16 years.
In the first campaign in first, the team finished in ninth place, breaking the record for teams promoted since 2000/01.
However, this season he was unable to replicate the successes of previous years and could only win five games of premier leaguein the absence of less than half of the championship”
The statement quoted Andrea Radrizzani, the club’s director, as saying that “this was the most difficult decision I’ve made since I arrived at Leeds United, taking into consideration everything Bielsa has achieved with the club.”
Without a doubt it is a difficult decision, but the team’s poor numbers justify the decision and perhaps dividing the paths of the club and the coach is the right thing for everyone.
