Marcelo Bielsa has been named new coach of Leeds United.

The club tweeted a short video which ended with the Argentinian flag and the caption, “Bienvenido Marcelo."

Bielsa confirmed his delight at joining the Championship club.

“I am delighted to accept the role of head coach at Leeds United," Bielsa said.

“It has always been my ambition to work in England and I have had several opportunities to do so during my career, however I have always felt it was important to wait for the right project to come along and so when a club with Leeds United's history made me an offer, it was impossible to turn down.

“I am excited for the challenge ahead and I look forward to collaborating with Victor, Andrea and Angus, as we work hard to achieve great things at this football club."
