Marcelo Bielsa’s sacking at Leeds United in early 2022 was one of the most unpopular decisions made by the previous regime. He developed a cult following at Elland Road and was a father figure to a group of players who played their best football under him.
Bielsa left Leeds close to four years back, but he remains one of the most popular figures at Elland Road, and the fans remain enthralled by their former manager, who got them back in the Premier League after a 15-year absence.
Some of the Leeds players of that era have never recovered their best form since the Argentinian left the club, and the
ir careers have only gone downhill.
His sacking left a profound impact on the club, as while they survived at the end of the season, his successor Jesse Marsch carried the blame for the Whites getting relegated in the 2022/23 campaign.
