Marcelo Bielsa and Leeds, it’s over. The Argentine coach, already announced on the departure at the end of the season, did not survive the heavy defeat this Saturday against Tottenham (4-0). The latest loss in an alarming series: 3-0 against Everton, 4-2 against Manchester United, and 6-0 against Liverpool. In total, the Peacocks, worrying 16th in the English championship, have conceded 20 goals in their last 5 games.
It is therefore through the back door that “El Loco” leaves the club. He got there in 2018 before allowing him to return to the elite in 2020.
Despite the poor results, the popularity of the technician remains intact in his now ex-team. For Victor Orta, the club’s director of football, “he has created a legacy, united fans and players and shown the way for young people to integrate into the first team. It’s unfortunate that his reign ended like this, but we can’t hide from the recent results.”
“Thank you to the man who changed everything for everyone,” commented striker Patrick Bamford. “He changed the culture of the club and brought with him a winning mentality,” concluded Whites owner, Italian Andrea Radrizzani.
