Marcelo Bielsa has been sacked by Leeds on the back of a 4-0 pummeling by Tottenham at Elland Road on Saturday, with Jesse Marsch leading the race to replace him.
Bielsa joined Leeds in 2018 and led them back to the Premier League after a 16-year absence two years later, as well as a ninth-place finish in the top flight in 2020/21, but he leaves the club only two points above the relegation zone and on a run of five defeats from six games.
Leeds have shipped 60 goals in 26 games, five more than bottom side Norwich, and suffered a 4-0 defeat at home to Tottenham on Saturday after being thrashed 6-0 away at Liverpool in midweek. They now have a goal difference of -30 and the Premier League’s leakiest defense, having conceded 21 goals in that time.
Bielsa’s contract was set to expire after the season, and after the Whites’ loss to Liverpool, he expressed anxiety that they would be demoted back to the Championship.
Leeds claims Bielsa’s replacement will be announced as soon as Monday.
