Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear says the Whites’ top dogs will meet next week to discuss a new contract for Marcelo Bielsa.
Marcelo Bielsa to Meet Leeds United Owners Over New Contract
Argentine Instrumental in Whites’ Promotion
The Argentine’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the season – which is just three days away.
Bielsa has been the genius behind Leeds United’s return to the Premier League after 16 years.
And with the manager’s contract fast approaching an end, Leeds United bosses are to meet next week.
Speaking to the Sunday Express, Angus Kinnear said he will see the 64-year-old, alongside owner Andrea Radrizzani and sporting director Victor Orta.
He said: “Victor, Andrea and I will be straight in with Marcelo next week and talking about plans for next season.
“He has a review, he knows the direction he wants to take the club in and it will go from things we need on the playing side, right through to changes he wants to be made at Thorp Arch and in the backroom staff, and obviously his own personal arrangements as well we need to resolve.
“The challenge with Marcelo is his intentions are always a bit of a mystery because he’s always focused on the next game and you’re a brave man to try to distract him from the task of the next match.
“I think he’s fallen in love with the club. I think he’s committed to it.”
Playing Style Key to Bielsa’s Success
Marcelo Bielsa has brought a brand of football adored by Whites supporters.
Their attacking style of play is something that has become synonymous with Bielsa. The self-proclaimed ‘Bielsa Ball’ witnessed this season has seen the Whites dominate the Championship.
The Yorkshire outfit have completed 705 shots this season – 58 more than second-placed West Bromwich Albion.
Similarly, Leeds have produced 531 chances this season; resulting in 70 goals.
