Sheffield Wednesday boss Steve Bruce has hailed his opposite number Marcelo Bielsa ahead of the clash against Leeds United.

Bielsa has made quite the impact at Elland Road since taking charge as Whites manager last summer.

The Argentinian has helped transform his side into an organised outfit that also play attacking football, something that has made them a real force in the Championship.

They currently sit second in the league table with just five games remaining, but will need to fight off Sheffield United who are just point adrift if they want to secure automatic promotion.

Leeds host Wednesday on Saturday evening in the league and there is so much riding on the game for them.

“Leeds are a good side, the manager has done a terrific job and we are all intrigued by his methods but he has been a breath of fresh air. He’s got Leeds to the top end of the table,” Bruce said, as quoted by Wednesday’s official Twitter account.

TBR’s View:

Bruce is an experienced English manager that has been around a long time, but even he is intrigued by the enigma that is Bielsa.

Leeds really have struck gold with his appointment and supporters are thrilled to let him get on with things in his own unique way.

The South American is not afraid to big tactical decision, is prepared to throw youngsters on and has quite often this season named his line-up before a game.

Bielsa is confident in his team to do the business on the pitch by dominating possession of the ball and the confidence he’s installed in the group is quite remarkable.
