Newly promoted Premier League side,
Leeds have confirmed that head coach Marcelo Bielsa has penned down a one-year
contract extension with the club to be in charge for another year after they
got promoted to the Premier League for the first time in 16 years.
Bielsa initially signed a two-year
contract in 2018 when he arrived with an option to extend for another season
but everything has been sorted out for him to remain in charge at Elland Road
for the 20/21 season.
“I will be working the next season
at Leeds United. Everything has been sorted and it is definite that I will be
here next season,” the Argentine said. Leeds will begin their new season against
reigning champions of the Premier League, Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.
“Leeds United are pleased to
confirm Marcelo Bielsa has signed a new one-year deal with the club to remain
as head coach for the 20/21 season. Bielsa last season guided Leeds to the Sky
Bet Championship title, winning the league by 10 points and creating history in
the club’s centenary campaign,” a club statement read.
