Report: Leeds United are offering Marcelo Bielsa a two-year deal, but he wants one

According to Argentine news outlet La Nacion, there is a problem with the length of the contract Leeds United are offering head coach Marcelo Bielsa.

The Argentine led the Elland Road outfit to Premier League promotion at the end of last season at the second time of asking, helping them return to the English top-flight following a 16-year absence.

Leeds want to reward him with an £8 million-a-year deal that will make him the sixth-highest paid boss in the land.

They are offering him a two-year deal, but Bielsa prefers to sign for a season as usual.
