Every Leeds fan has a story about what Marcelo Bielsa’s time at Leeds means to them.
Marcelo has spoken so often about how football belongs to the supporters above anyone else, so it seems only right that he should know just how important he is to us. Below you’ll see a collection of messages to Marcelo that we will be making sure he receives.
Each is a unique and special example of the impact Bielsa has had on of us all as individuals. Marcelo has earned his place in Leeds United history as well as in the hearts and minds of fans, he deserves to know just how much he means to us.
26 years of going to see Leeds. For the majority of those it was filled with pain, mediocre performances and no heart. You turned up and everything changed. You taught some ‘average’ players how to be the best version of themselves, you ta...
Marcelo,
I've no doubt you're receiving a wealth of support and well wishes from Leeds fans everywhere, and so you should be, for it's beyond deserved and warranted.
I want to thank you so much for everything you've done for us at Leeds....
“The most valuable thing is the happiness that we are able to provoke in those that struggle to find happiness in other ways away from football.”
It’s like you had seen my entire past and stared into my soul and understood what football ...
From the first minute of the Stoke game Marcelo made me love football again, when I pretty much resented going to watch dross at Elland Road every week, but felt an obligation to support the team. I connected with the club, players and ma...
Thank you Marcelo. You deserved better from the Board. After watching Leeds for 50+ years, home, away and abroad, I've seen this Club through worse times. After what you've done for the Club, City and fans, you should have still been wi...
I’m not really sure anything I am capable of writing comes close to doing justice to the impact Marcelo has had on my life and the lives of those of our beleaguered club.
From the depths of despair you brought hope and togetherness. In a t...
All I ever really knew as a leeds fan born in 96 was Leeds United in the lower leagues. That first game against Stoke City, I was in the cheese wedge and I knew it would change. YOU changed that. You were able to bring a city together agai...
Thankyou so much Marcelo for everything you gave us publicly and behind the scenes. If we are to be relegated at all it should have been with you still in charge and with shared emotions. You made us proud again.

The end of an era… God forsaken on what this man did to us for Leeds United Football Club. He transformed us, he gave us exciting football, since that very first game where we defeated Stoke 3-1. He made me get a season ticket, doing 400 m...

Thank you Marcelo - we will be forever grateful for the last 4 years. You changed our club, coached beautiful football and made all of us fans very happy. We even got to light up the local Storey Bridge in your...
A simple ‘thank you’ doesn’t seem like enough to convey the gratitude and heartfelt admiration I have for what you have done for us all.
Not just for the gifts you have provided on the pitch, but for the the honour and integrity you have ...
Marcelo, en el equipo en que estés te seguiremos siempre. Leeds United no sabe el error que está cometiendo. Marcelo, always 🥰
You brought pride back to our club, we will be eternally grateful for what you have done, you will never be forgotten , you will always be apart of this great club………
Thank you Marcelo.
Gracias Marcelo,
Nothing will ever compare to the feeling of you finally guiding us back to the top division. Gutted that Covid stopped us being at Elland Road for the trophy presentation but the memories will last for ever. You will alwa...
You gave us our club back. You gave us love and light. We will forever be in your debt and hold you in our hearts.
Dear Marcelo,
I didn't even support Leeds United, but you were an icon in the Premier League. We will all miss having you and your endless elegance around...I wish you all the best for the rest of your career and life!
Gracias El Loco :)
You made me fall in love with football and my football club again. You have brought me joy where I had only before had desperation and despair. I feel like you have made us not just a better club, but better people.
Thank you for everythi...
Dear Marcelo, I am 52, a solicitor, I shouldn’t be writing fan mail, but I just want to take the time to thank you for all that you have done for Leeds, not just the football club. I have loved watching the teams you have put on the pitch ...
Querido Marcelo,
I don’t think I’ll ever fall in love with a team or an idea like yours ever again. Thank you for giving me the most cherished football memories of my life, and more importantly, for how you have made me a better person.
...
In a time where I was at my lowest mentally and saw no way out you brought me so much joy and showed me what it felt like to love the sport again and be truly happy.
I am forever grateful for everything you have done for both myself and ...
Espero que estes bien Marcelo.
The one thing I really hope for is that you feel the love from the Leeds united fans. There will have been times where some thought it was time to turn the page but I don’t think there’s a single leeds fans...
Thank you for everything. You are a great man.
I am unable to express my thanks and appreciate for you Marcelo in any manor remotely close to how I feel. Simply put you are a man I have never met, and sadly will never meet, yet you have changed the way I view life for the better. Graci...
You have helped both myself and the club I love during some of my most difficult times over the last few years.
Your values, beliefs, and the culture you have instilled will never be forgotten.
I could write an essay on all the good things...
Thank you Marcelo! Thank you for bringing success to the club I love after so many years without it. But thank you more importantly for bringing the city that little bit closer together. Thank you for teaching us all the value of humility ...
You've changed the lives of many for the better. No greater achievement in life.
Marcelo Bielsa, thank you.
Thank you for making us believe again. Thank you for teaching us about integrity, about decency and about pride. You are the best of men and I wish you well in the next chapter of your life. We love you!
Thank you for making us believe again. You are a legend and have restored Faith for a whole generation of fans. Sad for it to end this way but that isnt what youll be remembered for. Time for a rest. MOT.
Thank you Marcelo for being a symbol of everything great about football. You reconnected the club to the city and gave people so much joy. Forever a legend in Leeds.
I'm not sure I would have made it through the pandemic without you, Marcelo.
