Bielsa confirms Leeds contract extension

Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has signed a new one-year contract with the club.

The Argentinean's contract ran out at the end of last season after he had successfully led Leeds back to the Premier League.

On Thursday, Bielsa agreed a new deal with the Whites and it has been been confirmed that his contract runs until the end of the season.

Leeds take on champions Liverpool on Saturday in their first game back in the top-flight for 16 years. 

The Yorkshire club finished 10 points clear at the top of the Championship last season after losing in the play-offs in Bielsa's first campaign at the helm in 2018/19.
