Uruguay, oh Uruguay – I feel for La Celeste after a miserable World Cup to forget but I also feel for the ever self-critical Marcelo Bielsa. It’s fair to understate that this has job has not gone well for the one-time hipster’s favourite coach.
“He’s a legend and anyone who says otherwise is not worth listening to,” says my colleague Dick Wetherell, who is definitely not a hipster but is definitely a Leeds fans and therefore can recall happier times for Marcelo.
“Someone said he’s lost the dressing room. I pointed out that there aren’t many good players in that dressing room.”
Ouch, take that Fede Valverde.
