Many Leeds United supporters have been discussing an image of Marcelo Bielsa posing with a local dentist shared on Twitter by @butty_lufc. The 64-year-old has often been spotted in local coffee shops and taking walks, leading to many praising him for how ‘incredibly down to earth he is’.
It is not clear when the photograph was taken, but it’s clear many of the fans love the fact that despite his high-profile, Bielsa enjoys such a modest life. Here is how some have responded.
Keep that man safe! #mot

Hope that dentist got Bielsa’s DNA, we can get started on cloning him.

Strangely a photo of Bielsa at the dentist has absolutely made my day, love the fella and I’ve never even met him. Just hope he’s keeping himself nice and safe and not taking any risks.

Has Bielsa already earned legendary status in your view?
Yes
No

What do we think?
Whilst most of these supporters were pleased to see a picture of their boss with a smile on his face, there is a concern amongst some in regards to his safety. As previously mentioned, we have no idea when the photograph was taken, it may have been prior to the UK’s lockdown.
Bielsa’s Leeds United are currently top of the Championship and were closing in on promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since they were relegated at the end of the 2003/04 season.
