Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has long admired Marcelo Bielsa, the former head coach of Leeds United.
The firing of Marcelo Bielsa as head coach of Leeds United sent shockwaves through the football world yesterday. Bielsa’s effect has been enormous since he is widely considered as an instructional figure for several notable coaches from various continents. His history as a coach at Leeds United, wherein he re-developed the club as a Premier League contender after 16 years in the 2nd and 3rd tiers of English football, will be treasured.
Players of the Leeds United club paid tribute to the 66-year-old yesterday, thanking him for his hard work and devotion throughout his three-and-a-half-year stay at Elland Road. Coaches have begun to pay respect to the guy who is credited by many as a mentor in their managerial and supervisory careers.
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has paid respect to the Argentine, saying: ” I am so sorry for him. His legacy is there in Leeds’ city and the club and I am pretty sure with the players” as tweeted by Manchester City.
PEP 💬 I am so sorry for him. His legacy is there in Leeds’ city and the club and I am pretty sure with the players. Unfortunately as managers we are subject to results and lately they were not good. But in the four seasons, he was spectacular to watch and wish him all the best.
