Marcelo Bielsa: Bournemouth in talks with ex-Leeds boss
Marcelo Bielsa spent four years at Leeds before being sacked in February 2022Former Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has spoken to Bournemouth about their vacant manager's job.
Bielsa, 67, has emerged as a viable candidate to take over on a permanent basis from Scott Parker, who was sacked after just four matches this season.
Gary O'Neil has been doing the job on an interim basis since August.
After a six-game unbeaten run, the Cherries have lost their past four top-flight games and are now just a point and a place above the relegation zone.
O'Neil could still get the job but Bielsa would be a glamour choice for a club about to enter into a new era when Bill Foley's takeover goes through.
