“You reminded us that football can be beautiful and that a team can be greater than the sum of its parts”says the text published under the title “Thank you Marcelo” (thanks Marcelo).
Bielsa was sacked from Leeds last February following a poor run of results after leading the club back to the Premier League in 2020 after 16 years of playing in the English second tier.
“You gave us much more than football. You guided us through a pandemic and brought us closer while we were apart. You showed us that integrity and decency matter, both in good times and bad.”says another of the fragments of the recognition message to the “Loco”.
The publication was managed by supporters of Leeds through a link in Argentina, as explained to La Capital by Nicolás Bloj, the Newell’s fan in charge of the management before the media.
“Leeds fans contacted an Irishman who has a Newell’s account in England and he called me to manage the post. It was all paid for by the supporters and it was entirely their initiative,” Bloj said.
The message does not have a signature, does not mention the English club or the DT’s last name.
“They said that it is not necessary to mention the authors or that it is for Bielsa because everyone is going to realize who it is addressed to and who does it,” Bloj explained.
Bielsa, 66, managed Leeds between 2018 and 2022 and is distinguished as a coach of international prestige with a strong personality, a lover of spectacular play with direct attacks and fast transitions.
His place at Leeds was filled by American coach Jesse Marsch.
