But today the city of Leeds is sending its most sincere and heartfelt thanks to the manager who made so many Leeds United fans’ dreams come true at the weekend as the club returned to top flight football in style.

And what better day to call for that recognition than on Bielsa’s birthday, too.

We do however acknowledge the fact that Marcelo might be reluctant to take the limelight for himself.

But the groundswell of support from across the city of Leeds and the fans themselves show just how grateful we are to you.

Happy birthday.
