Leeds hero Gray: Sacking Bielsa right decision

Leeds United hero Eddie Gray says the club was right to sack former manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Gray believes Leeds were correct to call time on the Argentine's four-year reign.

"The club did the right thing," he told the Daily Mail.

"You couldn't see the run of defeats coming to an end. Marcelo never really showed any emotion. I never saw him pat a player on the back when he was substituted. That's just how he was and he was successful with it. The players responded to him.

"But when you are struggling and you don't have that personal affinity with the players, it becomes difficult. When things start going wrong, you need an arm around you and that wasn't his nature."
