Leeds United fans have been handed an encouraging update on Marcelo Bielsa's potential new contract at the club.

What's the story?

Whites supporters are no doubt all waiting for confirmation of the Argentine's new deal at Elland Road, and during a Q&A session for Leeds Live, journalist Beren Cross delivered an update that should have fans resting easy.

In response to a question about Bielsa's new contract, he said: "We are all waiting with bated breath on that glorious announcement to drop. Details like that aren't clear, all we know is he's staying and there is zero concern about his commitment to the club going into next season at the very least."

Fans surely thrilled

When news emerged a couple of months ago that Bielsa was on course to land himself a new contract at Elland Road, several Leeds fans took to Twitter to make it clear just how delighted they were - a real snapshot of the kind of love that supporters have for the manager.

The kind of affinity and love Leeds fans have for Bielsa is unquestionable, with the Argentine a firm favourite in Yorkshire for the way he has embraced the city and restored the club to its Premier League status.

The future of the 65-year-old is something from which fans will have been desperate to hear some good news, and Cross' latest update that "he is staying" and there is "zero concern" about his commitment to the club over taking charge ahead of the new Premier League season, will have them absolutely thrilled.
