A lot of Leeds United fans are laughing at footage of Marcelo Bielsa trying to pronounce “Ipswich” earlier this year before the Whites played them.
The footage shows the Argentine attempt to say the word and then tells his interpreter that he has given up – which brings some laughs from the room. This video has gone down well on Twitter with many Leeds fans.
Is Bielsa the man to lead Leeds back to the Premier League?
Yes, he knows exactly how to get Leeds promoted
No, his team will fail by the end of the season
The funniest moment this year??

He’s got everything.. he’s self deprecating, he’s galvanised this club, made us believe more than anytime in 15 years… got across how to be humble and work hard which had translated into our fans getting plaudits when we travel. He’s been himself and we love him.

The man is just fantastic, walks miles to training every day in the rain. My friends see him in Costa coffee & he always gives a photo. Top class.

What do we think?
This is an example of the humour that Bielsa has, and it is understandable why so many like him as a person as well as a manager.
Bielsa has had a few funny moments in his time with the Whites, and this is another one that can be added to the list.
The Argentine has created a great connection with the people of Leeds, and if they can maintain their current form, then he will be leading them back to the Premier League.
If he were to do that, then Bielsa will forever be remembered by the Elland Road faithful – no matter what happens.
