A club statement said: “Leeds United are pleased to confirm Marcelo Bielsa has signed a new contract to remain in charge at Elland Road.

“The Argentine has agreed a fresh one-year-deal, running until the end of the 2021/22 season.”

“From my point of view, this is an extraordinary club,” Bielsa added.

“It’s not often you have a club that designates so much volume of investment to the improvement of the training facilities.

“Leeds have made a significant contribution economically to provide the tools for a manager to prepare to be the ideal ones.”

He added: “I’m satisfied with the group I’m working with.

“I couldn’t tell you about hypothetical situations but what I can tell you is the group of players I have I’m happy with.”
