Leeds United have been working hard to try and win promotion back to the Premier League for a number of years now and they appear to have a great chance this season.
Marcelo Bielsa appears to have steadied the ship at Elland Road and looks to have managed to get the best out of some of his players as they remain in contention to win promotion back into the top-tier.
The Whites will likely need to make a couple of additions to the squad this season as the Argentine has been hit with a number of injuries, whilst he oversaw a complete overhaul of the team that he inherited.
He sent a number of players packing, whether it be on a permanent deal or just on a temporary switch, leaving many to believe he was a little short on numbers in certain areas.
However, ‘El Loco’ is not the only person that has made a number of changes in the time they have been at the club, with one man appearing to favour that approach all too often.
A moment in time – The time Massimo Cellino owned Leeds
Before the arrival of Andrea Radrizzani, Massimo Cellino had control of the club and appeared to take all sense of stability away from Leeds.
The Italian, whose initial takeover process was far from smooth, went through a list of managers during his two-and-a-half-year reign of madness.
During his time at the club, he had employed six managers, with the likes of Dave Hockaday, Darko Milanic, Neil Redfearn, Uwe Rosler, Steve Evans and Garry Monk all spending a relatively short period of time at Elland Road, whilst firing Brian McDermott once he arrived.
Cellino was also disqualified from the Football League when he was found guilty of tax evasion, whilst he decided to remain away from the stadium once the ban was completed.
Radrizzani has since arrived at the club and things have started to look a little better for Leeds as they try to finally achieve their aims of returning to the top-flight.
Although he has also had three managers under his reign so far, with Thomas Christiansen and Paul Heckingbottom prior to Bielsa, he appears to have found the man to finally get those ambitions in motion.
As mentioned, ‘El Loco’ looks to have got the Whites playing as a solid and dominant unit in the majority of their games, whilst it also seems as though he has managed to bring a level of discipline to the squad.
Should the club finally achieve promotion to the Premier League this season under Bielsa, his arrival will surely bring some stability to Elland Road and the Cellino era will become forgotten about as many will be delighted with the Radrizzani era instead.
