Ex-Leeds boss Bielsa, Pochettino involved in Athletic Bilbao presidential election

Former Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is being linked with a return to Athletic Bilbao.

The Argentine is a candidate for the Athletic Club job after Marcelino's resignation last month.

Marcelino left his post knowing the club will be holding a presidential election this summer.

AS says the three candidates all have their chosen coaches ahead of the poll.

Departing PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino is wanted by by Ricardo Barkala. Iñaki Arechabaleta bets on Marcelo Bielsa, who is a former Athletic coach, and Jon Uriarte would lean on the German Marco Rose, formerly of Borussia Dortmund.
