Marcelo Bielsa has spoken out about his desire to make a return to the dugout at Athletic Bilbao. Bielsa has been without a club since leaving Leeds United in February and he has spoken for the first time since his Elland Road departure to address his plans to step into management once more.
The Argentine is still loved by many at Leeds after securing the club’s long-awaited return to the Premier League and despite only spending two seasons there, he is a favourite in Bilbao, too. The 66-year-old coached Los Leones between 2011 and 2013 and managed to secure appearances in the Europa League and Copa Del Rey finals.
And, it seems he could be set to return to the Spanish outfit, should Iñaki Arechabaleta win the club’s upcoming presidential elections. Arechabaleta has promised supporters that he will take Bielsa back to Bilbao should he be elected to replace Aitor Elizegi and that could bolster his support ahead of Friday's vote.
