Leeds United have announced the appointment of Marcelo Bielsa as their new head coach.
The experienced Argentine takes charge at Elland Road on a two-year deal, with the Championship club holding an option to extend for a further year on top.
"I am delighted to accept the role of head coach at Leeds United," Bielsa said in an official statement.
"It has always been my ambition to work in England and I have had several opportunities to do so during my career, however I have always felt it was important to wait for the right project to come along and so when a club with Leeds United's history made me an offer, it was impossible to turn down."
Bielsa was last in charge of Lille, though he lasted just 14 games with the French club before being suspended and eventually sacked at the end of 2017.
