Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds position in serious doubt with Jesse Marsch a leading contender to replace him

By Daily Sports Nigeria on February 27, 2022

Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds have one point from last six games, conceding 21 goals, to leave them outside the Premier League relegation zone by only two points, with a 4-0 thrashing by Tottenham their latest defeat

Marcelo Bielsa's position at Leeds is in serious doubt on the back of a 4-0 hammering by Tottenham, with Jesse Marsch a leading contender to replace him at Elland Road.

Bielsa joined Leeds in 2018 and led them back to the Premier League after a 16-year absence two years later, as well as a ninth-placed finish in the top flight in 2020/21, but the club are currently two points outside the relegation zone after a run of five defeats from six games.

Leeds have conceded 21 goals in that time and slumped to a 4-0 defeat at home to Tottenham after being thrashed 6-0 in midweek away at Liverpool, leaving them with a goal difference of -30 and the leakiest defence in the Premier League all season, having shipped 60 goals in 26 games, five more than bottom side Norwich.
