Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani reveals 'broken' reasons behind Marcelo Bielsa's sacking

Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has revealed the decision to sack former manager Marcelo Bielsa last season was driven by his belief that the highly-acclaimed coach was unable to keep the side in the Premier League.

The Italian businessman initially brought Bielsa, the Argentinian tactician, to Elland Road in 2018 and oversaw the club's return to the Premier League a season later as Leeds lifted the championship title.

He exceeded the expectations of all remaining doubters by not only leading Leeds to Premier League safety during their first season back in the top flight, but finishing in the top half of the table and within touching distance of Europe.
