He may have been at the centre of the spygate controversy, but Marcelo Bielsa has also been making headlines with his work on the pitch with Leeds United this season.
The Whites have not needed to be one of the Championship’s top spenders to launch a promotion bid this season, with the side currently sat top of the table and favourites to be promoted to the Premier League.

But while all is rosy at Elland Road, the same cannot be said at Goodison Park where Everton boss Marco Silva is coming under increased pressure.
Everton have slipped down the Premier League table with the supporters restless at result and the style of play. Toffees owner owner Farhad Moshiri has so far backed Silva, who he appointed in the summer, but there is a growing feeling the former Hull City boss is on borrowed time and now it is being reported those inside the boadroom at Everton see Bielsa as an ideal replacement.
The Daily Star on Sunday report that sources at Everton think Bielsa would be the perfect fit for the club and a prime contender to take over.
