Marcelo Bielsa has been an undoubted success at Leeds and because of his transformation of the club it is sometimes easy to forget just how much of an impact he has made.

Leeds had mostly struggled in the Championship under previous bosses, with only Garry Monk flirting with the pay-off places in recent years, yet Bielsa has them top of the table with much of the same playing personnel.

He has utilised youth players like Kalvin Phillips and Jack Clarke to great effect and built a winning mentality based on passing football and a strong defence.

An average possession of 60% combined with conceding only ten goals in 21 games means Leeds are the team to catch, and have allowed him to win 39 matches out of 67 in charge.

To put that into perspective, Garry Monk, Thomas Christiansen and Paul Heckingbttom achieved the same amount of wins combined from 92 matches, a stat which has impressed some supporters.

Bielsa’s influence on Leeds wasn’t in any doubt but it is useful to see the impact he has made summed up by a simple stat. It highlights how poor the Whites were previously, and just how big a job it has been to make Leeds what they are today.

The Argentine deserves tremendous credit considering he can’t even speak English and it is his first job in this country, and he is managing a club with huge expectation.

All those factors work against him yet they haven’t stopped his ability shining through, and as long as the players understand his system and continue learning from him to become better players, there is little chance of things taking a turn for the worse.

Winning promotion would be the icing on the cake for Bielsa to cement his legacy at the club, although it isn’t like he isn’t loved already.

Fans have also been singing the praises of Bielsa and Leeds after seeing another hugely impressive stat, one which means that promotion must surely happen this time around.
