In case you’ve missed it, Marcelo Bielsa has been linked with becoming our new manager – no honestly, he has.
This summer we look set for plenty of changes and the latest is that Paul Heckingbottom is in need of a new job because he has been sacked.
Certainly, there’s a real chance he’ll be unemployed for some time in the near future after what went on for us but, to be honest, we’re hardly surprised.
Meanwhile, the rumours are flying about concerning who could replace him.
With that said, then Phil Hay posted this update:
Away this week but two different people in the past fortnight have mentioned Bielsa to me as an option for Leeds:https://t.co/d2ZarQ4PcR

To which fans reacted saying:
heard a rumour Marcelo Bielsa wants fellow Argentine Luciano Becchio to lead the line in a 3-2-3-1-1 formation, any truth Phil?

The Verdict
I’d really like to see this happen.
He’s a bit of a nutcase at times but he’s got massive respect in the game as a head coach.
If he could get the players performing then we could be on to a winner. I won’t get excited yet though.
