A lot of Leeds United fans love a new video that has emerged online, showing Marcelo Bielsa and Claudio Ranieri meeting each other in the tunnel before Nantes played Lille.
The video shows the level of respect that both men have for each other, and this has delighted many Whites fans.
Are Leeds lucky to have Bielsa?
Yes
No

What do we think?
The footage shows Ranieri after he was sacked by Leicester City.
Bielsa, clearly aware of Ranieri’s achievements with the Foxes, goes over to congratulate him.
However, he is also congratulated and told that he is an “Example to all of us.”
Bielsa, though, rejects that and claims that the Italian is an example to everyone instead.
It is a piece of heartwarming footage and shows the level of respect that two of the game’s wisest bosses have for each other.
Lille won 3-0 but then went on an awful run, and Bielsa was sacked.
Nantes, on the other hand, put together a good first half of the season before falling away and eventually they finished ninth.
However, this footage shows the respect that Bielsa has in the game from many other managers, and Leeds should be grateful that they have such an inspirational boss.
