Argentine coach helped the club back to the Premier League after sixteen years away, and complete what has been a wild ride under Bielsa. The 65-year-old, he is known for the intensity of it, both inside and outside the country, and sometimes has been some speculation about how long he will remain at Elland Road.
“Well, I hope you can stay with us for a long time, but we like to decide each year because obviously, as I said in another interview that he is not a young director, who is 65 years old and his family, his wife is often in Argentina, “Andrea Leeds Radrizzani owner said this week.
“Hopefully he can stay longer-60 is the new 40 these days! If not, I think that building is the basis for a suitable club “.
The debate surrounding the future of Bielsa is not a concern, especially pressing in Leeds at a time when they are focusing on maintaining a beginning impressive back life in the Premier League, but the news that Manchester United is interested in Mauricio Pochettino makes the least potentially scupper the idea of a disciple Bielsa succeeding his mentor at Elland Road.
It may sound like a great ambition for whites to hire Pochettino, but you can not deny that would be the dream successor to Bielsa. The couple first met when Pochettino was just a child.
“One night, at one o’clock in the morning, he came to my house, knocked on the door and wanted to see a 13-year-old,” Pochettino ESPN Brasil Gedra Natali said.
“They tried to convince my parents to let me travel 200 km, Rosario, who was the distance from my city, Murphy. He wanted to see my legs! At this time of the morning, which would have to be a little … I had to take my parents’ dream. Then he said, ‘these legs resemble those of a very good player. ” That was a good lie, no bad intentions. “The couple later worked together at club and international level, and even as managers have faced when he was Pochettino at Espanyol.
