Twelve of the best Marcelo Bielsa games at Leeds United as Argentine is sacked by Whites

Marcelo Bielsa's tenure as Leeds United head coach is over - and we have picked out 12 of the Argentine's most memorable games in charge of the Whites.

Bielsa was appointed back in June 2018 and went on to transform the club, ending United's 16-year exile from the Premier League by sealing promotion as Championship champions in 2020.

The Whites then stormed to a ninth-placed finish as a newly-promoted side and whilst the second season back has been a disappointment, the memories of some sensational games and unbelievable highs will never be forgotten.

Here we pick out a dozen of Bielsa's best in the Whites hotseat.
