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.
Thank you for everything. I will never forget what you have done for us.
Mr Bielsa, I have been a Leeds United fan since I first entered Elland Road as a wide-eyed 10 year old in 1984. In all those years I've never felt quite such an emotion for a manager at my football club. The nearest thing I have experience...

Thanks for giving us a reason to care about Leeds United, football and humanity. You’ve made a difference to so many peoples lives, both on a football level and a personal level.
I was so honoured to meet you in Sydney in 2019.
Gracias ...
