Absolutely obsessed about building football teams. That story about him spying on Derby in the championship still cracks me up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds were literally the best team to watch out of the whole PL last year. First year back. He's KK-esque imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pochettino and Pep said years before Bielsa was even managing in England that he was one of their greatest inspirations. Two of the best managers in British football in the last decade saying they learned so much from him, but aye Bruce is just as good. Leeds fans must absolutely adore the bloke.

toon25 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Bielsa is as clear a football genius as there is. Remarkable man that can do it at any level. He'd get Orient into PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd get Orient into PL. I really, really like Bielsa but I think this is all a bit much. He's been coaching for 40 years and won very, very little and pretty much nothing in Europe. I don't really understand people acting like he's one of the best coaches ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 In terms of managing teams to titles then no he isn't and rarely stays at a club too long But in terms of getting every last effort out of the players at his disposal whilst also playing attacking football, he's brilliant and the list of coaches he's inspired shows that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he's been coaching for 40 years without winning much and still believes passionately in his methods says everything tbh. That criticism was levelled at Poch at Spurs, but do you think they have gone forwards since getting rid of him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 What teams has Bielsa managed that he should have won titles with? Put Guardiola in charge of the same clubs and you have the same or worse results IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Beisla is a coaches coach, he’s absolutely amazing and lack of silverware means fuck all. KK won nowt, but look what he achieved with HIS football team and those players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 21 minutes ago, The Janitor said: I'm deadly serious. I'm not slating the man. I think he's class. I love his philosophy. At the same time I don't see him as one of the greats and certainly not anywhere near the finest example of a football genius. I haven't seen a plan B from him. I respect the ideology but the likes of him coming to Old Trafford last season with the mindset he did was a huge mistake. He'll have his big wins like 5-0 against WBA and 5-2 against Newcastle, but I can't call someone a genius who can also lose 4-1 to Leicester and Palace. The amount of goals they shipped to the "big six" was absolutely obscene too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
