Marcelo Bielsa could be “exactly what Everton need” in terms of changing the culture at the ailing Blues but the former Leeds United manager would have to be given full control of the running of the club in order to make it work.
That’s the verdict of Conor McGilligan, sport social media editor at the Manchester Evening News and a lifelong Leeds United fan.
Bielsa is currently the bookmakers’ favourite to become the next Everton manager following Frank Lampard’s sacking on Monday with claims the Argentinian is their number one choice and he fancies a Premier League return, but there are also reports that there would be several obstacles to overcome in order to convince the 67-year-old to come to Goodison Park. While McGilligan remains an enthusiastic supporter of Bielsa’s work, he believes certain strict criteria would have to be adhered to in order to make his potential appointment work.
