Jonathan Woodgate says Marcelo Bielsa would've kept Leeds United up as next manager call made

Former Leeds United defender Jonathan Woodgate says he believes Marcelo Bielsa would have kept the Whites in the Premier League had the Argentine stayed at the club.

Leeds parted company with Bielsa following the 4-0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, which marked the club's fourth consecutive league defeat.

Although the Argentine had failed to steer the club away from a relegation battle this season, he was still adored by many supporters having lifted the club out of obscurity in the Championship. Woodgate, who represented the Whites at senior level between 1998 and 2003, has revealed he thinks Bielsa would have kept Leeds afloat in the Premier League if he had stayed.
