Former Leeds United assistant manager Gus Poyet believes the Whites were right to dismiss Marcelo Bielsa in order to preserve their Premier League status last term.
Bielsa was sacked by Leeds off the back of a 4-0 hammering by Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road in February. The former Leeds boss left the club only two points above the relegation zone and on a run of five defeats from six games (D1).
Jesse Marsch was quickly installed as his successor and steered Leeds to safety courtesy of four wins from their final 12 league matches (D3 L5). Poyet, speaking to Lord Ping on Monday, insisted that Leeds would’ve been relegated had they retained Bielsa in the dugout.
