Leeds are edging closer to announcing a new deal for manager Marcelo Bielsea who guided them back to the Premier League.

Marcelo Bielsa is held in very high regard by the Elland Road faithful.

The 65-year-old was a key figure as the club ended their 16-year absence from the Premier League and secured promotion last month.

Bielsa saw his contract with the club run out at the end of last season and talks were penciled in swiftly for a renewal.

Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani has always spoken highly of the Argentine. It was never in doubt the Argentine would be offered a new contract.

TalkSPORT are now claiming that an agreement is very close and a new deal for Bielsa could be announced in the coming days.

The no-nonsense manager has already made a name for himself and Leeds during their stay in the Championship.

The Whites maintained a high-energy attacking setup and Bielsa was never one to back down while on the touchline. The fans love the Argentine and it is obvious for everyone to see.

The hierarchy at Leeds are confident in the manager and they believe he can usher the club into a sustained period in the Premier League.
