Elland Road latest news: Marcelo Bielsa could leave Leeds this summer

Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge wouldn’t be surprised to see Marcelo Bielsa quit Leeds this summer, although he expects the Argentine to make a decision at the end of the season.

Bielsa’s contract expires before the start of the 2022-2023 campaign and there have been growing concerns at Elland Road that he might walk away from the club.

Bielsa has worked wonders since his appointment in 2018, and after proving the man to finally get Leeds back into the Premier League, he guided them to an impressive ninth-place finish last season.

But having been riddled with constant injuries to key players, the Yorkshire giants have been unable to show the kind of form that saw them beat the likes of Manchester City, Tottenham, and Leicester on their return to the top-flight.

According to the Telegraph, Leeds have already drawn up a three-match shortlist to replace the 65-year-old, who’s continued his theme of working on one-year contracts.

Bielsa was quizzed about his future after the 4-2 defeat to Manchester United last time out and while his stance was clear about waiting until the summer, he gave the biggest hint yet that his could be his final season at the club.

He said: “No-one can stay at this level if they cannot guarantee 100 percent enthusiasm – that’s players or coaches.”

Therefore, Bridge wouldn’t be shocked to see Bielsa leave his post but expects the situation to be addressed at the end of the season.

When asked whether he thinks Bielsa might leave Elland Road this summer, Bridge told GIVEMESPORT: “It wouldn’t surprise me, he looks tired, but I’m sure they’ll assess it at the end of the season.”
