Marcelo Bielsa revealed as secret weapon for Huddersfield in Nottingham Forest play-off final

Former Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has been helping Huddersfield Town prepare for the Championship play-off final against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

The legendary Argentine coach has been analysing Steve Cooper's side with Huddersfield boss Carlos Corberan, who was part of Bielsa's coaching staff at Elland Road before taking the Terriers job.

Corberan, who revealed Bielsa had watched his side’s semi-final win against Luton, said: “The best advice that he gave me is to have analysed the (Forest) team with me over the past few weeks. Sometimes as a coach you cannot give any particular advice. I was learning a lot after having two years with him, facing a similar situation.

"It’s not with words. I’ve learned a lot from Marcelo with his behaviours and it’s true in some moments we talk about the team, how we see things, the players, the levels. That’s all, but it’s a lot.

“Always, I feel his support from the beginning when I started to coach (at Huddersfield). The support is that someone wants the best for you, so he has given the best to me.”

Apart from defender Matty Pearson, who is not expected to recover in time from a knee injury, Corberan has a fully-fit squad to choose from and with that, several selection dilemmas.

Corberan added: “Right now I think the positive thing of the team is that every player is ready. I have to make some unfair decisions like always because I can only select 16 outfielders plus two keepers. It’s not going to be easy for me because some of the players who will not be involved are good enough that they could start the game, so it’s some hard conversations.”
