Dallas gave a glowing account of Bielsa’s time at Leeds
ahead of the Whites’ Premier League clash with Southampton at St Mary’s, which
marked Bielsa’s 150th game in charge.
The Argentine has undertaken the longest continuous run of
service in his career as a club manager at Elland Road, where he has achieved
the highest win rate of any Leeds United manager of the last thirty years.
As Bielsa took charge of his 150th match, Dallas praised the
66-year-old’s contribution to the club.
"He’s been incredible. There’s no words to describe
him,” Dallas said.
“He’s very intense in what he does and the way he has us
working.”
In 2020, Bielsa ended Leeds’ 16-year exile from the top
flight, before surprising Premier League teams with his high-intensity style to
finish 9th last season. Now Dallas hopes the Whites can continue to build under
Bielsa.
“This club waited a long time to get back into the top
flight and went through numerous managers," Dallas told Sky Sports.
"He has come in and got the club back.
“We had a great season last year and hopefully we can push
on under him this year again."
