Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa is entering his fourth season at the helm of Leeds United and has built a very positive history at the English club so far. Bielsa was largely responsible for bringing Leeds back into the Premier League, the elite in English football, after a 16-year absence. The return to the first division in England came after the second division title. However, Bielsa does not have a guaranteed stay.
After a contract with the English club until June 2022, the Argentine coach has not yet extended his contract, and according to the English newspaper “The Telegraph”, the Leeds board of directors will evaluate possible alternatives. After a few years of success, Marcelo Bielsa was unable to make Leeds a champion in the Premier League.

Also based on the information in the British publication, American-born coach Jesse Marsh is the most likely candidate for the Bielsa position. Marsh has not yet had experience in the Premier League, but he is considered a good coach, having had good jobs at clubs in the Red Bull franchise, such as New York Red Bull and RB Salzburg.
Recently, the company chose Marsh to be the coach of RB Leipzig from Germany, but the performance was not positive and he achieved only eight wins in 21 matches with the German team. Currently without a club, the manager can be persuaded to take over Leeds, especially if the club can survive in the Premier League.
The departure of Marcelo Bielsa has not yet been decided, and if this is the decision of the board of directors, then everything will be done calmly and respectfully for the Argentine coach. The 66-year-old has built a positive history at the club and is respected by the fans. Even with an irregular phase, the Argentine has a positive current.
Leeds is currently 15th in the English Premier League, with 23 points, six points behind Norwich, which opens the relegation zone in the national competition. Leeds returns to the pitch next Sunday (20), when it hosts Manchester United, at 11 am (GMT), for the 26th round of the English Premier League.
