​Leeds manager Bielsa pays tribute to Huddersfield-bound Corberan

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has paid tribute to Huddersfield Town-bound Carlos Corberan.

Bielsa's assistant manager is set to take over as manager at Huddersfield, an opportunity he could too good to turn down.

And Bielsa, who was in a good mood after his Leeds side secured the Championship title and Premier League promotion, was complimentary towards Corberan.

"Each of them made a bigger contribution than me for the team to grow," Bielsa said of his coaching team to reporters.

"Please believe this, it is true.

"There is an example about the evaluation I'm making about my colleagues that confirms what I'm saying is not exaggerated.

"Carlos Corberan has been chosen by one Championship team to be the manager of the first team and it is a team that one year ago was in the Premier League. This proves what I am saying is true."
