Marcelo Bielsa hasn’t been here long but he has already impressed in his press conference and will be looking to make that feeling continue.
He’s spoken at length about the transfer window already and the plans for that whilst he’s also said about the importance of being associated with the club when you’re from the city.
In quotes taken by Tom Maguire, he’s spoken about his connection with Bilbao and is clearly hoping to have the same sort of relationship with our city and our fans:
Bielsa talks about the importance of being associated with the club when you’re from the city, speaking fondly of his time and the fans of Athletic Bilbao. #LUFC @LS11LUFC

The Verdict
A determined and passionate figure, if it goes well he is certainly going to enjoy his time here and relationship with us.
He’s got all the makings of a Leeds legend and though it’ll be hard work between now and the end of the coming season, he looks ready to get the whole club pulling in the same direction.
On we go from here.
