“There’s no words to describe him” - Stuart Dallas sings the praises of Marcelo Bielsa as manager takes charge of 150th Leeds United game
Stuart Dallas praised “incredible” Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa ahead of the Southampton clash, the coach’s 150th game in charge of the Whites.
Dallas gave a glowing account of Bielsa’s time at Leeds ahead of the Whites’ Premier League clash with Southampton at St Mary’s, which marked Bielsa’s 150th game in charge.
The Argentine has undertaken the longest continuous run of service in his career as a club manager at Elland Road, where he has achieved the highest win rate of any Leeds United manager of the last thirty years.
As Bielsa took charge of his 150th match, Dallas praised the 66-year-old’s contribution to the club.
"He’s been incredible. There’s no words to describe him,” Dallas said.
“He’s very intense in what he does and the way he has us working.”
In 2020, Bielsa ended Leeds’ 16-year exile from the top flight, before surprising Premier League teams with his high-intensity style to finish 9th last season. Now Dallas hopes the Whites can continue to build under Bielsa.
“This club waited a long time to get back into the top flight and went through numerous managers," Dallas told Sky Sports. "He has come in and got the club back.
“We had a great season last year and hopefully we can push on under him this year again."
