Andre-Villas Boas: Marcelo Bielsa’s nomination for The Best FIFA Coach award ‘scandalous’
Marseille boss Andre-Villas Boas has taken a swipe at Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa’s nomination for The Best FIFA Coach Award. The Argentine has joined a five-match shortlist that also includes Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, Sevilla’s Julen Lopetegui and Bayern Munich’s Champions League-winning coach Hansi Flick. Bielsa was at the helm as Leeds returned to the top flight of the English game for the first time in 2004, but Villas-Boas has suggested that these achievements pale into comparison with other coaches who have been overlooked. “Bielsa? Bielsa has to win a prestigious trophy,” he told the media on Friday. “But he’s not among the best five coaches in the world in 2020. It’s a scandal. He won the Championship!” Villas-Boas, who risks provoking the M...

Mauricio Pochettino opens door to Premier League return
Mauricio Pochettino says he is ready to return to management, almost a year after he was sacked by Tottenham.

Report: Leeds have made a fresh move to sign 22-yr-old attacking target
Leeds are interested in adding a bit more creativity to their side before the window closes.

He is quick, agile and technically gifted. The midfielder scored 7 goals last year and he will chip in with important goals along with his creativity.

Leeds United have been linked with the move for the Norwich City attacking midfielder Todd Cantwell.

Report: Leeds United looking to submit improved bid for 26-yr-old Bielsa target
Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Fiorentina defensive midfielder Erick Pulgar. According to Al Aire Libre, the Premier League are looking to submit an improved offer for the player.

It will be interesting to see if the Italian outfit are open to accepting the improved bid when it is presented. Pulgar would be a superb addition to Bielsa’s midfield this season. He would protect the back four and allow the creative players like Klich and Hernandez to play with more freedom.

Report: Leeds could look to sign 24-yr-old from PL outfit this summer
Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Southampton keeper Angus Gunn. According to Football Insider, the 24-year-old is a long-standing target for Leeds United and they tried to sign him a couple of years ago as well. Kiko Casilla has fallen out of favour at the club and 20-year-old Meslier has been starting for Leeds United in the Premier League so far. There is no doubt that Leeds United could use some experience in their goalkeeping department and the Southampton keeper should prove to be a useful option. Angus Gunn is unlikely to get regular game time at Southampton this summer and perhaps a loan move to Leeds United could be ideal for his career right now. He is behind the likes of Alex McCarthy and Fraser Forster in the pecking order right now. It will be interesting to se...
