Victim of his own success....got them promoted playing entertaining football then not only survived the first season up, but finished 9th....this season they didn't strengthen their squad, and then lost Bamford and Philips to injury.....
I'm sure they would have been expecting a relegation battle last season, and Bielsa would have been given the chance to fight it.....deserved more time to see if he could have steadied the ship, but that's football these days

It'd be just like it if they hired Big Sam and he kept them up at our expense.
Charlatan who has won nothing in his career
-31GD so far proves his tactics don’t work
I wish he would have took them down

He's had every chance to turn things around, they were getting worse with every game and he didn't have a plan B, it was just a matter of time and probably should have gone earlier.
Gets me every time this ?
Just like your idol Benitez, he had one way of playing.
Despite the loss of key players, like Philips and Bamford, who were crucial to his style of football, he continued to try and play his 100 miles an hour footy, even though their replacements weren`t up to the job.
For a coach with over 30 years experience to have no plan B or ability to adapt the teams style of play, according to the players available at his disposal, is really quite telling.
Will he get another job, 100% yes.
Has he been found out to be a limited coach, 100% yes too.

I'm not that surprised.
I thought he'd turn it around but they seem in freefall. 20 goals conceded in their last 4 league games.

Bielsa leaves Leeds after poor run
Marcelo Bielsa leaves his role as Leeds United head coach following the club's recent poor run of form.www.bbc.co.uk
Head coach Marcelo Bielsa has "parted company" with Leeds United after a run of poor form which saw his side suffer several heavy defeats.
The 66-year-old Argentine, appointed in June 2018, leaves with the Whites two points above the relegation zone.
Under Bielsa, Leeds finished ninth last season in their return to the Premier League after a 16-year absence.
But Saturday's 4-0 defeat by Tottenham meant they had lost their past four games by an aggregate score of 17-2.
"This has been the toughest decision I have had to make during my tenure at Leeds United, taking into account all the success Marcelo has had at the club," said Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani.
"With Marcelo as our head coach, we had three incredible campaigns and the good times returned to Elland Road. He changed the culture of the club and brought a winning mentality to us all.
"However, I have to act in the best interest of the club and I believe a change is required now in order to secure our Premier League status. Recent results and performances have not met our expectations.
"We find ourselves in a precarious league position and I feel now is the right time to bring in a new head coach, in order to have an impact in the decisive stage of the season."
That's a shame
i was hoping he'd drop them further down the table first

I had been looking at Leeds and Brentford and thinking they are dropping like stones and could do us a favour. I think it’s always interesting when these managers that a rigid playing style, like Bielsa, do well and then, Ultimately come unstuck. In the first season they looked great, but now clubs have worked them out and as they have this methodology of “ there is no plan B, just do plan A better” they invariably just keep doing the same thing and getting beat.
I think Big Sam will be among the names mentioned and he probably could get them out of it. It’s wether or not the Leeds board would be happy to pay him the cash, he’s not cheap.

Could be wrong like, but I'm not convinced he could. Terrible squad IMO. Very few PL level players in it.
It is poor but he knows how to organise a defence.
