Leeds owner, Andrea Radrizzani has come out to admit that he never planned to sack former manager, Marcelo Bielsa. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, his hand were simply forced to take such action after a dismal run of form in the Premier League midway through last season that threatened relegation.
He added that something was clearly broken during Bielsa‘s final days, and it reach a drastic point.
His words, “I’d never thought to sack Bielsa,”
“I never thought this moment could happen, ever. He was a legend and he is a legend for what he achieved.
“I felt something was broken and that’s when you have a tipping point, but it was too soon to take a decision.”
“I expected that [the reaction], but I needed to think about the club.
“I could see that the players, emotionally and physically, were really at the end.
“We needed to change, we needed something to impact the group. It was risky both ways.
“It wasn’t easy to decide whether to potentially die with him or die with someone else.”
