Leeds United reportedly move a step closer to appointing Marcelo Bielsa as their next manager.

Leeds United are allegedly in advanced talks with Marcelo Bielsa about their managerial vacancy.

Members of the club's hierarchy have flown out to Argentina to finalise negotiations with the former Lille and Lazio boss, according to Sky Sports News.

Bielsa is one of the most highly-rated South American coaches in the game, with managers including Pep Guardiola and Diego Simeone among those to have cited him as a key influence on their careers.

Leeds are seeking a new head coach following the departure of Paul Heckingbottom, and have vowed to appoint an "experienced" manager in his place.

The Whites finished in 13th place in the Championship last season.
