Bielsa remains unemployed after leaving Elland Road a year ago. Of course, he has come close to returning to the Premier League. Before Sean Dyche\u2019s appointment, the Argentinian flew into England for a meeting with Everton. However, the talk between Bielsa and Everton broke down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\" data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"971925d4-9b8f-46ae-a24d-3bf0e3de8f5c\">In addition, Leeds fans hoped that Bielsa would return following the dismissal of Jesse Marsch. Despite this, it was probably the right decision for all parties for Leeds to look elsewhere. Marcelo Bielsa is now in advanced talks about his next position, which is good news for those looking forward to seeing him return to football.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\" data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"9602b18e-31d5-4738-878d-cc94e9aa58ad\">Fabrizio Romano says Bielsa is one step away from Uruguay\u2019s manager. If appointed, he will likely sign a contract until the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign ends. And obviously, he would probably stay on if they made the tournament co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Discussions ongoing between Marcelo Bielsa and Uruguay to become the new national team head coach.

A stalwart of the side for many years was Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani. The team\u2019s future appears to be in the hands of Fede Valverde, Rodrigo Bentancur and Darwin Nunez. As for Bielsa, he manages South American nations. After Argentina and Chile, Uruguay is his third country to work in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marcelo Bielsa has already managed Argentina and Chile. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":316,"featured_media":34675,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1141,1128,3570],"class_list":["post-12294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-everton-fc","tag-marcelo-bielsa","tag-world-cup-2026"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
