Leeds United's recent big-money departures and how they've got on since leaving Elland Road

Five years on since Andrea Radrizzani joined Leeds United to become their new chairman, the club have enjoyed plenty of success on and off the pitch. The Whites have won promotion back to the Premier League and managed to finish in ninth last season - cementing themselves as an established top-flight outfit.

Leeds have gone through four managers during the Italian's tenure, before Jesse Marsch's joined back in February. It all started with Garry Monk, who was appointed by Massimo Cellino, but resigned at the end of the 2016/17 season, shortly after Radrizzani's full takeover was completed. This was all before Thomas Christiansen and Paul Heckingbottom both lasted fewer than 50 games between them during the following campaign.

However, everything would change at the Whites when Marcelo Bielsa came through the door in summer 2018. The Argentine completely altered the feeling around the club and brought back the good times, guiding Leeds to the play-off semi-final in his first season, before winning the Championship title.
