Mixed emotions for Leeds United supporters as Marcelo Bielsa 'flies in' for Everton talks

Leeds United supporters have mixed emotions as former Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa flies in for talks with Everton. The Toffees parted company with Frank Lampard last week and the Argentinian head coach is among the favourites to take over at Goodison Park.

The Whites legend, who helped win promotion back to the Premier League, has been out of a job since leaving Elland Road back in 2021. Bielsa has been linked with a return to coaching across the globe, turning down jobs in his native country.

The Mail claims Bielsa has jetted into London to speak with the Toffees about becoming their new boss. Whites' supporters have differing views on whether he'll take the job and whether he'll be a success.

Leeds United supporters have taken to social media to have their say on Bielsa's links to Everton:

@DanielH_LUFC said: "Bielsa would 100% keep them up."

@JamesMakey1917 said: "Bielsa will go down heavily in my estimation if he takes the Everton job, he's already gone down somewhat for even considering it."

@SamH__15 tweeted: "I don’t see Bielsa keeping Everton up."

@YorkshireDublin said: "I’m a Leeds fan but lived in Liverpool for four amazing years and love the place and the people. Marcelo Bielsa and the city / people of Liverpool would be a perfect match… I just don’t know if he’d be willing to walk into the situation at Everton right now is all."

@FootballBlog360 said: "I love people educating me on Bielsa, his longest club management job was Leeds and it was 4 years, his biggest signing when he first took over Leeds was Patrick Bamford, he's not a chequebook manager at all and he's world class, insulting to think he couldn't get Everton safe."
