Premier League
Finally from Leeds Marcelo Bielsa
After 3.5 years in the technical leadership of Leeds, Marcelo Bielsa has resigned from his contract, paying the price for the bad course in the Premier League.
Marcelo Bielsa’s departure from Leeds became official on Sunday. The innovative Argentine manager took charge of the English club in June 2018, but after 3.5 years of work, combined with a return to the Premier League and beautiful football, his contract was terminated as this year’s results were inversely proportional to expectations.
The Peacocks have not won their last four league games and have been involved in the relegation battle since early December at just 2-2-8, just +2 from third-bottom Burnley. In between, they even suffered falls, like Manchester City’s 7-0 and Liverpool’s 6-0.
Saturday’s 4-0 win over Tottenham at Eland Road with three goals before half-time was the last straw. The English media had already written about the coming developments.
“It’s the most difficult decision I’ve ever made during my tenure at Leeds given Marcelo’s success with the club“said Andrea Radriciani, but to explain that”I had to act for the good of the club“Considering that in this way the stay is ensured.
