Leeds United are back in the Championship play-offs five years after their previous appearance. 90 points was only good enough for a third-placed finish this time round and so Daniel Farke’s side face a semi-final meeting with Norwich City and a potential final against one of Southampton or West Brom.
Whites supporters will need no reminding of what happened the last time their side were in the play-offs, with the first season under Marcelo Bielsa ending in all too familiar heartbreak. After beating Derby County home and away in the regular season and welcoming them to Elland Road with a 1-0 first-leg advantage, Leeds capitulated to lose 4-2 on the night and 4-3 on aggregate.
In the five years since that miserable night at Elland Road, those involved have taken very different paths in their respective careers and some are still involved with Leeds to this day. Take a look below to see where the squad from that second-leg defeat are now.
19. Manager: Marcelo Bielsa
Confirmed his legendary status by guiding Leeds to promotion the following season and a ninth-placed finish in the Premier League. Sacked in February 2022 amid a poor run. Took charge of Uruguay in October 2022 and made history with back-to-back wins over Brazil and Argentina. Made recent headlines amid reports he will call up an amateur player later this month. | Getty Images
