Dallas admits Leeds manager Bielsa transformed his game

Stuart Dallas admits Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has transformed his game.

Dallas arrived at Leeds from Brentford in 2015 and presumed he was joining a club ready to get promoted. In the end it took all those managers, a change of ownership and five years to do it.

"We had absolutely no chance back then and I can see that now," he told the Daily Mail. "I signed because it was a great club but also because Uwe Rosler was manager.

"I had been with him at Brentford. He lasted about seven games.

"It was just a whirlwind from that point on. There was always so much going on. You didn't know if after one bad result the manager was going to be sacked and a new one walking in.

"I didn't play to my potential under any manager until Marcelo came in. I really mean that.

"He has transformed my game. I had good relationships with the others but it's hard when you don't know how long they are going to be around."
