Ex-Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa 'keen' on Premier League return this summer

Former Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is reportedly keen on a return to Premier League management next summer. The ex-Whites boss has been linked with a number of high-profile jobs since leaving Elland Road in February 2022.

Bournemouth and Everton were two of the Premier League sides keen on luring the Argentine back to England, but the Sun claims Bielsa has told allies he's not keen on taking over in mid-season. The former Leeds boss met with the Toffees in London, but rejected their proposal, paving the way for Sean Dyche's arrival at Goodison Park.

Conflicting reports claim Bielsa had leftfield demands before taking the Everton job, wanting to spend the first six months of a three-and-a-half-year deal working with the Under-21s and the academy before stepping up to become first-team manager. A deal at Goodison was said to be in the region of £10.5million a year.
