Bielsa was one of a kind and certainly left the right impression from his three-and-a-half-season stint in Yorkshire.
It seems like Leeds fans were taken aback by how strong tactically he was, as Bielsa predicted games before they even happened.
The 69-year-old has reinvolved himself at the club in some capacity, as Bielsa is now president of an overseas Leeds fan project to the Whites faithful’s delight.
As mentioned, it was an unfortunate circumstance when Bielsa was sacked, but what Patrick Bamford has revealed sums up exactly who he is.
Patrick Bamford still shocked at what Marcelo Bielsa did after Leeds United exit
Of course, his exit seemed like the best choice for all parties, with the Whites really struggling in the Premier League during the 2021/22 season.
It was Jesse Marsch who came in and saved them but the American found it very hard to live up to the expectation of Bielsa.
Daniel Farke is the next candidate to try and emulate his efforts, and so far it’s good as Farke has managed records Bielsa hasn’t, and now has the chance to achieve top-flight success.
Someone who did experience the brilliance of Bielsa and still playing to this day is Bamford, as he revealed to the Fozcast with Ben Foster, what the Argentine did after he was sacked.
“Wherever he’s left before, he never comes back into speak to the players, but he came in the next day,” Bamford said.
“It was sad, he got emotional, and then I went the day after. I went to his house to say thank you, and he was in there with two of his analysts, and he was watching football!
“He took 10 mins to talk to me, and I was just like, wow, you’ve literally left the club two days ago.”
Bamford needs to rediscover Leeds form under Bielsa
It’s safe to say it hasn’t been a brilliant season for the veteran number nine at Elland Road.
Just 17 league appearances have seen a rocky campaign for the 31-year-old, but at times, fans have wanted Bamford over Piroe, showing the fanbase still have their faith in him.
And rightly so, as Bamford under Bielsa during the 20/21 season in the top flight was a machine in front of goal.
Now, with it looking like Bamford was leaving Leeds, those murmurs seemed to have died down, and Farke could be set to give him the chance he needs.
There is 100% still a player in there and this season he has the chance to help Leeds stay in the Premier League, and find his feet again like he did under the stewardship of the great Bielsa.
