Tribute to former Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa opens at Elland Road complete with marble bucket
673 supporter names also featured in the area
A permanent tribute to Marcelo Bielsa has opened at Elland Road.
The final legacy stones have been installed at Bielsa Place, creating a lasting landmark that celebrates supporters while honouring the legacy of Marcelo Bielsa.
It honours the club's passionate fanbase and pays tribute to the former Whites boss, who inspired the club to promotion back to the Premier League in 2020 - after a 16-year absence.
The spot even features a marble replica bucket for fans to sit and reflect on - symbolising the one Bielsa famously perched on.
A spokesman for Leeds United said: “Bielsa Place honours the man who brought belief, passion, and top-flight football back to Leeds United.
“This special area features a marble replica of the bucket, the very one he famously sat on while masterminding our return to the Premier League, as well as a stone silhouette capturing one of his most iconic images.”
More than 1,700 stones have been placed in the new section of the East Stand, next to the Elland Road reception area, with 673 supporter names also featured in the area.
Bielsa Place was named alongside Howard's Way as the two new sections of Legacy Stones available for supporters to purchase to etch their names on to Elland Road, with the latter currently expected to be installed at the end of July to start of August.
All Legacy Stones are now sold out online.
