    Marcelo Bielsa is revered throughout the world of football for his managerial style and is often a reference of inspiration from the world's greatest coaches.

    Marcelo Bielsa is an Argentine football manager who is currently the head coach of the Uruguay national side.

    Bielsa had an unspectacular career as a player, but is most famous for his managerial career, with his methods influencing many other high-profile coaches.
    Bielsa is nicknamed 'El Loco' (the crazy one) and is known for being enigmatic in his mannerisms. However, he is widely respected for his sportsmanship and human values.

    Bielsa has previously managed Newell's Old Boys, Atlas, Club America, Velez Sarsfield, Espanyol, the Argentina national team, the Chile national team, Athletic Bilbao, Marseille, Lazio, Lille and Leeds United.

    He led Leeds United to the 2019/20 Championship title, sealing their promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 16 years.

    Bielsa was one of the most popular managers in Leeds' history, but he left in February 2022 following a run of four successive league defeats.

    The 67-year-old was appointed Uruguay manager on May 16, 2023. He had been out of football management since leaving Leeds almost 15 months ago.
