Marcelo Bielsa: Leeds United manager linked with move to MLS champions Atlanta United
Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has been linked with a move to MLS champions Atlanta United.Atlanta, who won the MLS Cup last week, are currently managed by Tata Martino, though he is expected to depart to take charge of the Mexico national team.2

Martino’s work with Atlanta has been superb

Martino has worked wonders with Atlanta, guiding them to the MLS Cup play-offs in their debut league season, before winning the trophy the following year.Bringing in another big-name coach is clearly a priority for the club, and Marcelo Bielsa has been linked with succeeding Martino at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.The Morning Journal, per Sport Witness, claim Bielsa is one of Atlanta’s managerial targets, along withGuillermo Barros Schelotto of Boca Juniors. Bielsa took charge of Leeds United throughout the summer and has since transformed them into genuine promotion contenders.They sit second in the Championship table after 21 matches, only behind leaders Norwich on goal difference.2

Bielsa has enjoyed an excellent start to life at Leeds

A gap has been created between the top two and the chasing pack – Leeds are five points clear of third place Sheffield United – and the Whites are playing some of the finest football ever seen in the second tier.

Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds spell in numbers

Bielsa was confirmed as Leeds manager on June 15, in one of the most surprising appointments in recent football history. He has had an instant impact at Elland Road, renewing hope that the Whites will finally return to the Premier League...
