Marcelo Bielsa's international successes as former Leeds United boss targeted by Bolivia

After just a month out of the game, it has been reported that former Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa could be returning as manager of Bolivia. The 66-year-old was sacked at Elland Road following a run of five defeats in six matches, which had seen his side drop very close to the relegation zone.

Jesse Marsch was appointed as Bielsa's replacement, with the American proving to have an instant impact on the dressing room as he won two of his opening four games in charge. However, Leeds fans were split about the decision to get rid of Bielsa and most were sad to see him go.

Now, Bielsa could be set for an immediate return to management with Bolivia, according to the Mirror. He is on the shortlist to become the new boss of the South American nation.
