Marcelo Bielsa: Leeds United manager could LEAVE if club don’t win promotion this season, Danny Mills fears
Former Leeds United defender Danny Mills fears Marcelo Bielsa will quit as manager should the Elland Road club fail to win promotion to the Premier League this season.The high-flying Whites returned to the top of the Championship table with Tuesday’s defeat of Reading, though Norwich can reclaim pole position if they draw or win their home encounter with Hull this evening.1

Leeds are battling at the top of the Championship table to win promotion to the Premier League

Bielsa’s side have recovered after something of a shaky start to the new year, with just three wins recorded between January 1 and the final week of February.However, since a defeat of Bolton at the end of last month, Leeds have won four matches in a row – their previous three without conceding a single goal.There are nine matches to go for Leeds to confirm their return to English football’s top flight for the first time since 2004, but they face tough tests against promotion rivals Sheffield United this weekend, before also taking on play-off hopefuls Preston, Sheffield Wednesday and Aston Villa before the end of the campaign. Fears over the famous burnout that Bielsa’s teams often suffer from has Leeds fans realistic about their chances of promotion, though there is obviously real excitement around Elland Road heading into the final stretch.But that excitement will be extinguished should the Whites fail in their promotion charge, former Leeds defender Mills believes, as he does not think Bielsa will remain with the club.What hes done is incredible,” Mills told Jim White on talkSPORT, “because its the same group of players [as last season].

Hes hardly invested anything, he didnt want anyone in the [January] window – his theory being, by the time they get up to speed with how he wants to play youre going to be six/eight weeks post window and it wont be worth the financial risk.The owners have gone, oh, this is good isnt it.The issue is he works them incredibly hard, and a lot of his teams in the past have had a burnout factor.

Whatever happens this season, if they dont get up, I fear either hell be poached or hell go – okay, I tried and it didnt quite work.Bielsa signed a two-year contract with Leeds upon his appointment last June, so a summer exit from Elland Road is not an immediate worry for club chiefs. However, he is understood to be a target of Everton’s should the under-pressure Marco Silva be axed by the Goodison Park club at the end of the season.
