Former Leeds United Boss Marcelo Bielsa Lined Up For New Job On One Major Condition

Marcelo Bielsa could be back in football management, just four months after being sacked by Leeds United, but it's dependant on one major condition.

With the club fearing the very real threat of relegation, they decided to move on from the Argentine manager, but there's no doubting his success at the club before then.

The 66-year-old is a cult figure throughout football for his attacking tactics and ability to kneel down throughout an entire match despite the damage to his knees.

However, it's far from guaranteed that the former Chile national team boss will be able to get the job, with the club about to go through a presidential election.

Bielsa's appointment will only happen if Inaki Arechabaleta, one of the main candidates for the position, gets voted in on June 24th, when the election takes place.

Things went worse in his second campaign with the Basque club, who still have a Basque only policy when it comes to signings, and he left the club without his contract being renewed.

Pochettino is officially not out of work, at the time of writing the article, but is expected to be sacked by the Ligue 1 champions any day now.

Ernesto Valverde has also been linked with the job, which has been available following Marcelino's departure from the club at the end of last season.
