Leeds United relieved much-loved head coach Marcelo Bielsa of his duties yesterday morning with a statement on the club's website.
Chairman and majority shareholder Andrea Radrizzani described it as the 'toughest' decision he has had to make during his time at the club.
Bielsa was pictured signing autographs, thanking supporters and posing for photographs at the club's Thorp Arch training ground yesterday night as he bid farewell.
