It’s a very painful, yet intriguing time to be a part of the West Ham United fanbase but it’s the opposite for Leeds United and Marcelo Bielsa.
With Manuel Pellegrini on the brink of being replaced as manager, there’s plenty of speculation regarding who it will be to replace the Chilean.
Bielsa guided Leeds to a strong promotion push last season and now the Whites sit at the top of the Championship looking Premier League-bound.
Their strong look under the experienced boss has prompted plenty of West Ham fans to suggest he’d be the right man to take the reins if Pellegrini departs…

READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Even if Bielsa was in West Ham’s sights, which it doesn’t seem like he is, it’s unlikely he’d ditch the current project he’s working on with Leeds.
There’s a strong feeling that this is the season the West Yorkshire giants return to the big time and he’s played a pivotal role in making that possible.
It’s looking increasingly likely we’ll see Bielsa on a Premier League touchline next term, just not with the Hammers.
