However, Bielsa’s future has been the subject of intense speculation – particularly if Leeds were to falter in their bid for promotion.Reports in Argentina have linked him with a return to Newell’s Old Boys, but Bielsa’s brother has quashed those rumours.Rafael Bielsa, who is also a sports lawyer, told La Capital: “Marcelo cannot go back to Newells because he has a contractual problem. I made the contract. “If he does not go up to the Premier League, Leeds have the option to keep him. Taking into account the campaign that hes fulfilling its difficult to not keep him. And if he goes up, it is mandatory for both parties to stay.“To come back [to Newell’s] he would be breaking a contract and my brother is not doing that.“The Bielsa family does not break the rules. These are values that are learned as a child, you are taught by your mother, your grandparents and the whole family environment.
