Premier League next manager sacked: Odds slashed on Marcelo Bielsa to leave Leeds United - Yorkshire Post 25/2/22
Bookmakers have made Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa the favourite to become the next Premier League manager to be sacked.

The Argentine has overseen a difficult run for the Whites,
who have picked up just one point from the last 15 available.
They have lost to Everton and Newcastle United in that time
- two sides around them in the Premier League table - while drawing at Aston
Villa and also suffering defeats against Manchester United and Liverpool.
Leeds remain outside the relegation zone by three points
with a number of injuries to key men and the worst defensive record in the top
flight contributing to their struggles this term.
Following recent results, bookmakers have made Bielsa the
favourite to be the next top-flight manager to leave, with some sites making
him odds-on to depart Elland Road.
Antonio Conte - whose Tottenham Hotspur side visit West
Yorkshire on Saturday - is second in the betting while Leicester City boss
Brendan Rodgers is a further place behind the Italian.
Leeds were convincingly beaten 6-0 by Liverpool on Wednesday
night and asked whether the owners had expressed concerns about the club’s
slide towards the bottom three, Bielsa said: “Not specifically but when a team
is going through what we are going through it is only going to awaken doubts.
“And I know the consequence of the succession of results of
the team I manage.”
