On the evening of February 27, Beijing time, The Premier League powerhouse Leeds United officially announced that the team's Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa was dismissed. The new leeds united manager will be former American RB Leipzig coach Marsh.
The 66-year-old Bielsa is a well-known personality manager in international football, and as a coach who advocates "offensive football", he is known as the "mad coach" for not playing cards according to common sense. Bielsa has coached Newell Old Boys, Atlas, Mexico America, Atlas, Espanyol, Argentina and Olympic Teams, Chile, Athletic Bilbao, Marseille and Lille. He led the Argentine Olympic team to the 2004 Olympic Championship.
In June 2018, Bielsa became leeds united manager, and in the second season of his lead, Bielsa led the team to promotion to the Premier League, which is Leeds United's return to the Premier League after a gap of 16 years.
Last season, Leeds United also performed well in the Premier League, finishing 9th. Unfortunately, Leeds United have suffered difficulties this season, with a poor record. Especially in the past month, Leeds United has suffered many humiliating failures due to long-term injuries such as Bamford and Phillips. In the five rounds of matches in February, Leeds United conceded 20 goals in 1 draw and 4 defeats, setting a record for the most goals conceded by a single team in the history of the Premier League. In the 26 rounds of the Premier League this season, Leeds United have conceded 60 goals, the team with the most goals conceded in the entire league.
At present, in the standings, Leeds United is only 2 points ahead of the relegation zone, and the relegation situation is not optimistic. It was precisely because of the risk of relegation that Leeds United finally chose to end the 3-and-a-half-year cooperation with Bielsa.
