Leeds United CEO Angus Kinnear says there was a 'grieving process' among the board following the sacking of Marcelo Bielsa last season. Bielsa was sacked in February following a 4-0 defeat to Tottenham at Elland Road, which left the Whites in the relegation zone in the Premier League, having only won two of their previous 13 games.
Given Bielsa's immense success at the club and popularity among the fanbase, it was seen as a controversial decision to sack the Argentinian, which angered some supporters. However, Kinnear says the club made the 'right decision', and he also revealed that there were times when Bielsa 'felt he was bigger than the club'.
“We had to make a decision, and I think, ultimately, we made the right decision and we’d do the same again," Kinnear told The Square Ball Podcast.
