Marcelo Bielsa in line for shock return to management with Bolivia... as FA president reveals they have 'made contact' with former Leeds boss

Marcelo Bielsa is being lined up for a swift return to management with the Bolivia national team - just weeks after his sacking by Leeds United.

The Argentine has held talks with the Bolivian FA regarding the vacant manager's job, according to the body's president Fernando Costa.

Bielsa left Elland Road at the end of last month after four years in the role following a a torrid run of results which plunged Leeds' Premier League future into doubt.

The 66-year-old former Argentina and Chile coach may not find himself out of work for long as Costa confirmed at a recent press conference that the Bolivian FA were 'in contact' with Bielsa as they seek to replace Cesar Farias.
