This is Everything You Need To Know, the series where we give you the story behind some of football’s defining moments. Today we are looking at the return of Leeds United to the Premier League, following a chequered history that saw them almost collapse in 2007.
We break down what actually happened 16 years ago, and how financial difficulties saw them fall into the Championship and League One, from where they struggled to return.
The arrival of new Italian ownership in 2013 bought with it the promise of success, but we look at how it wasn’t until Marcelo Bielsa arrived in 2018 that hope once again gripped the famous old West Yorkshire club.
We look at the Argentines unique tactics, and how he has got the best out of the squad he was given, including the brilliant Jack Harrison and Kalvin Philips.
Leeds United are a Premier League club again, and here is how that happened!

I want a movie of Bielsa, he sounds such an interesting character, going anywhere in the world and not picking top clubs
Joaquin Phoenix would be an amazing Marcelo Bielsa
there's a documentary on Amazon Prime
There is a documentary with 6 episodes
@@alelos My pick would be Vincent D'Onofrio
@@amanshukla6122 Vincent looks more like Acelotti
You’ve had this ready for a while haven’t you
kzhead.info/sun/gNWbg7KqbaRtlWw/bejne.html
If so, what's wrong about that?
Expanded on it after they bottled it last year
4SliceToaster they released it as soon as it struck full time
So
This was uploaded literally 5 seconds after they were promoted
@bobby dukes They probably have it ready since last year fiasco.
could you imagine if they went through all that trouble just for Leeds to get stuck in the championship again 😂😂😂😂
@@felixl7658 😂
@@felixl7658 I remember reading long article with huge analysis about Simao Sabrosa's transfer to Valencia before it was officially announced but later it turned out he's not going to Valencia😂
Norwich’s Buendia would be a great signing for Leeds this season
He’s too good for them he’d easily play for a Wolves/Leicester
Josh Nirmal if Leeds want to stay up they need to get players who are too good for them. Big club needs to start acting like one now
Arthur Quayle Fulham acted like a big team and spent 100m+ but still got relegated, same with Aston Villa
agreed 100%
I would also try to bring back Lewis Cook
Will be fascinating to see bielsa compete in the premier league against some other great managers next season!!
Jose vs him would be legendary. A shithouser vs a honest shithouser
@@suuuuuuuu124 well Marcelo met JM at 2011-2013
I know and that was ferice
@@suuuuuuuu124 😅😅😅
If we were on a level playing field it would be fascinating
Bielsa is unarguably, one of the greatest managers of all time. He might've not won many trophies, but he has inspired countless other managers, and his tactics are among the best in the game
What are his tactics?
Caran Cole Ask Sir Alex Ferguson when his Man U got eliminated by Atletico Bilbao lmao
@@carancole5974 simply the football we're seeing today. 30 years of that, it is what it is.
You can’t be one of the greatest managers of all time without the main big trophies
@@HarryG98 He changed football forever. Didn't you read my comment without being stupid?
I am a Man United fan and I'm happy Leeds are back as the rivalry can continue again!
I was thinking the same thing it's like it was written in the stars, liverpool, man city and Leeds all challenging Manchester United who have a club hero as Manager, it's gonna be a hell of a season.
TechWave The war of the roses.....
Thats a sport behavior
Same here....
leeds are the real rivalry not mancity or liverpool in terms of history
my childhood club are back, thanks Bielsa, supporting leeds all the way!
Congratulations from one of yr fans in Malaysia who hv followed the great team since my teens in the 70s n never waived since then...welcome back to the top flight Leeds...the downs, troubles n heartaches of the 80s n mid 2000s are now forgotten. Thank you to M Bielsa for believing in this team n coaching the players into believing in themselves again to push n going for the best n what a tribute to the recently departed Leeds legend Big Jack C....well done LUFC a great team once respected by rivalries Liverpool n feared by Man U n to the people of Leeds...i dream of visiting Elland road in the future

This is a message to every single Leeds United fan in the world, THE MADNESS IS OVER!!!!
Couldnt have said it better. No one will ever know what we suffered
We endure together We celebrate together But most of all We support together
this is a message from a Leeds United fan, the madness is just beginning :D
Every single Leeds fan I have ever met/Known is a very Low IQ Retard..singing songs about English Men dying on an Aeroplane...I Rest My Case
I Can't wait to see Leeds go straight back down 🖕
Bielsa querido , saludos desde Chile , todos somos Leed, el único DT con hinchada propia.
Chilé 🤣
El tipo es un Dios del futbol. Yo como colombiano siempre lo he querido como DT
El Chile de sudafrica era espectacular. lastima que jugaron contra brasil
soy argentino, y vi a Bielsa decir : aqui en chile me senti realmente querido..
@@unvagondemusica k pasa con Chile?
Congratulations leeds !!!!, the promotion was achieved !!! I started to follow your club because of the admiration for Bielsa, it was very nice to follow the campaign for the championship, I found very nice and talented people who express their love for the club great way, greetings from Argentina
Why does an Argentinian fan have hige admiration for him when he should have won a world cup with the team he had and massively bottled it in the 2002 world cup. His high intensity training exhausted the players
@@stephenjames227 friend ... not always 2 + 2 is 4, for that reason it is that they are questioned in Argentina, Holland also had a great team and could not be crowned champion
@@gustavoaguero6288 He's just repeating what he's read in the newspapers. Leeds did NOT burn out last year, the players just fucked it up at the end. Probably like Argentina did. Imagine saying he's a bad manager because he didn't win the World Cup lol Vamos Leeds Carajo!
Bielsa will forever be a legend round here, he broke the curse, a lot of leeds fans really believed in it as in we were forever destined to stay in the lower leagues, enter Bielsa, id bet cash money from this week onwards there's gonna be a lot of baby boys named Marcelo
@Vinny Mac . it will not be easy, just look at how are the norwich or the aston villa
Congratulations from Argentina.
Thankyou and thankyou for Bielsa
Saludos.
Buenos bueno el loco
3:25 he resigned being lazio manager because he asked the president to sign players for his project they said yes and then they said NO. So bielsa quit because he is a real leader he wanted a project well made lazio did not wantto listen to his requests so he went to a club that would let him be the leader and display his football leeds player are humble and follow his lead that's why got promoted
Felicitaciones por el ascenso! Saludos desde Argentina, Bielsa querido 🔴⚫ Newells te extraña
One of the best managers to live, if we are being honest
The best offensive mind manager ever!!
ROFL
@Sylvester Banini Yer he taught them but he isn't them. He's a good manager but "one of the best to ever live". Give a fkn rest xD. He's 64 and the only thing he's ever won is the Championship. Gareth Ainsworth has done a better job and he's 47.
Sylvester Banini One of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. You’re telling me a player that’s been around for 20 years and won nothing except the Championship would be considered one of the best ever? No they wouldn’t. People over rate Bielsa so much. He’s the best manager in the Championship for sure, but let’s see how he handles the big boy league. Spoiler alert you’ll find out next season why I’m right and he’s not one of the best ever.
@@youhalgh bielsa is the best becuase he makes players that are mid table championship quality and make them into premier league players. Give him city or liverpool and he will win everything with them.
I'm only happy because we get Elland Road on Fifa 21 😂😂
@Vinny Mac I'm not a Leeds fan
I’m also hoping Nottingham Forrest get promoted for the city ground 😂😂
@Adam Craig Forest will not get promoted. The playoffs will be won by either Brentford or West Brom. One of those two will finish 2nd tonight. Whichever one goes into the playoffs will win it.
Damien Jones LOLLLLLL
Clive Bindley Nah Cardiff will beat Swansea in the final🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Congratulations Leeds fans¡¡¡ Vaamooos Bielsa Carajo¡¡¡¡
If other clubs wanna buy Bielsa's greatest players, just do it, because he will make a new one
Sounds so Ajax, Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, Klopp,Wenger to me
Great to see Leeds are gonna be back in the prem again. Looking forward to seeing Bielsa in the transfer market as well as lauding at his tactical approach on the top level touchline. Uphill battle for them, but as a neutral, I can't wait to see what happens
Chelsea fan here and I can never forget how exciting it was to see Leeds United in the UCL semis. Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka, Robbie Keane ... oh man
Hope nothingham forest can make it back to the big time aswell well done Leeds United
Totally agree. As a Leeds fan it would be great if another proper big club goes up as well.
Got more CLs than In London And one half of Manchester combined..
@@SheffKhalid you dont have any CLs bud...you won the old European Cup
@@SheffKhalidyou mean uefa cup cause im most certain you haven't won more than arsenal alone
@Mithun Talukdar it didnt just change its name...the CL is a totally different competition with many more participants than the old European Cup had.
Welcome back Leeds United, great to see you back where you belong. Thanks, Loco Bielsa for the tremendous effort and teamwork.
As a man utd fan I must say I enjoy the games with leeds, it's been a long time.
MAN UNITED VS LEEDS!!! LET"S GO!!! btw ... Pep & Klopp vs Bielsa could be very interesting.
Leeds won't challenge at all
Klopp and Pep are levels above 😂
@@smjlegacy5720 Peps levels above a guy who Pep visited in Argentina when he started becoming a manager? Pfft Bielsa's the godfather. Granted City & Liverpool have much better squads so will be interesting but definitely exciting
SMJ Legacy need to educate yourself
Danny McCartney respect ✊, tell him lad !!
Conocimiento ,humildad , enriquecimiento en valores a sus jugadores , el único técnico con inchada propia
Welcome Back LEEDS UNITED. I Became a Bielsa fan before he came to leeds utd fan, i knew what he was capable of. Weldone ⚪🟠⚪🟠
@@CB-xr1eg what ever it means to you. Good stuff doesn't hide.
What a great story! I'm happy for both Leeds United and Marcelo Bielsa. As a kid growing up in London during the 1970s, I couldn't stand Leeds United. But I respected them as a great team. I remember the great Leeds team of Don Revie and their battles with Arsenal and Chelsea. The Premiership will be even more interesting to watch having Leeds back. I hope Bielsa leads them to some important trophies - until I start hating them again!
This vid makes me wanna start a new Leeds career mode on fifa
@Tino 123 i wanted to do it then i was like nah that's Bielsa's squad he should do it 😄
@Tino 123 my brain aint big enough for fm
@@datsfunnygaming Just burn FIFA 20 and never play it again dude... it's a terrible game... I have no idea how you play this trash... players don't make any runs, through balls don't work, manual defense doesn't work either, goals are super scripted... it isn't even a football game... just a scam by EA... FIFA was great up to 2015... after that it's just a lazy bland piece of trash they release each year, fully of bugs and make billions from idiots that buy it and spend thousands of dollars and euros and pounds on FUT... Just burn the damn thing and repeat after me... "I will not buy FIFA 21"... say it a thousand times and then go to bed tonight a better man... 😉
The Astro thought that many times at the start of a new career 😂😂
@@sportschool3537 agree
Qué gran alegría siento. Felicitaciones para todos los del Leeds; merecido ascenso. Un gran Técnico es Bielsa y una persona muy inteligente. ¡Todos somos Leeds!.
A fantastic man. We love him. MOT. 👍
Will forever be grateful for you Marcelo, you gave us hope again. You end at this club, while sadly deserved, was unfortunate and hurt fans very much. But there is always a journey before destination, which you took valiantly!👏
Wasn't deserved at all. Was disgusting.
Felicitaciones, un Grande Bielsa!!!
Muchos argentinos, los que queremos a Bielsa al menos, pendientes de que el Leeds vuelva a donde pertenece, para volver a ganar lo que malas gestiones le quitaron! Ojala El Loco siga en su cargo para hacer que el Leeds recupere su mistica.... Leeds fans, top tier of support in the world.
Yo no soy Argentino y me alegro por el loco, es sinónimo de buen fútbol. Ojalá triunfe y tenga la oportunidad de dirigir a un grande de Europa.
Aqui en chile tambien Lo queremos, nos ayudo muchisimo y le tenemos un gran respeto como a sampaoli
Felicidades Loco!
Congratulations from a fan in Brazil. Leeds always!
I am so happy for you Leeds fans ! congrats from Argentina. Vamos Leeds Carajo !!!!!
As a chelsea I'm excited, I like leeds and old rival is back.
Shame Big Jack and Osgood,King Of Stamford Bridge are not there to witness it...
Wash your mouth out son 😀
Don't support either team but have vivid memories of the 1970 Cup Final Replay at Old Trafford especially... Charlton,Bremner,Hunter,Harris,McCreadie and Osgood means Trouble with a Capital T....:)
Adam Craig 😂😂😂 a lot has changed and you’ll get your ass weep. I’m sure first two season you guys will be fighting to stay up from relegation
Adam Craig talking about Fat, I think you should check your managers weight his old and fat too 😂😂😂
Bielsa brought Chilean football back to life. And it is amazing to see what he has done with Leeds. Bielsa is truly no.1. Greetings from Chile!
Proper club leeds happy to see them back

Boca is old age home who destroy every young argentine talent
munawar choudhury I feel for you champ as you look like don't know anything about football homie👍🏻good luck to you.
Great! Manchester United has to deal with all their main rivals next season. Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Leeds United.
Good point
and Chelsea, don’t forget them just because they beat you to the final
Harry, not really our rivals but very tough opponents who wants to win trophies. They just happen to emerge when roman came in and wanted to help Chelsea win silverware. When I talk about main rivals, I mean back in old years around 1900-present when teams became very dangerous and tough to handle.
Marcelo Bielsa es una persona extremadamente inteligente, un gran conductor de grupos humanos, un maestro y un cientifico del fútbol. Se merece lo mejor. Acá en Argentina los medios de comunicacion lo destruyeron. Es un ser hunano HONESTO.
Y que tiene que ver ser honesto con eficiente ??, en la seleccion fracaso terriblemente y a pesar de eso Grondona le renovo y el se las tomo...
@@alejandropalacios9292 la honestidad intelectual, la grandeza y firmezas de sus valores humanos. HONESTIDAD por no tranzar con los medios, cosa que si hizo Pasarella por ejmp. Ni andar prendido en la venta de los jugadores. Y se fue luego de conseguir el unico titulo que le faltaba anla selec. De Arg. LA MEDALLA DORADA OLIMPICA. Se fue y les tapó la jeta.

The best thing that has happened in football for years, LEEDS ARE BACK, where they belong. As a Newcastle fan...Sad but True....Means more to me than our joke of a run club, over the last 12 years.
The damn united ;)
What a movie it was
@@shafquatsadman5191 God it was good. I don't know that much about Clough and lots of people complained about it being inaccurate, but it was a bloody good film nontheless.
I resent everything about it - you either do fiction or non-fiction don’t mix the two.
You remember when they fired Clough: is not working man... What a movie. Pure football
What do u mean
One of the best videos made by football daily. Make more of these videos there very interesting and entertaining!
Ath Club bilbao Supporter, and in our time, When we "suffered bielsa" I do think I've never seen a squad like that never. We played Bielsa, we played attack, we played for the game, not for the front papers. We reached to FINALS and lost both. But We never ever, were able to reach that peak since then. Bielsa is MIND, Bielsa is Heart, bielsa is passion and reality.
I really enjoyed this video. Found it Really helpful. I'd like to see more this
Bielsa is the Marco Pierre White of football
That comparison is perfect
So who is the Gordon Ramsay of football?
@@gouravchakraborty9801 mourinho maybe
Gourav Chakraborty warnock
Gourav Chakraborty Simeone, because Bielsa was his mentor
Mark Viduka, Alan Smith always in my memories while Leeds in top flight PL early 2000's
The whole squad was top notch. Harry kewell, Lucas Radebe, the two fullbacks who were related..Kelly and Harte. Mehn I miss EPl in the early 2000's. Glad to see Leeds are back.
Felicitaciones Leeds ! The crazy one ! The genius one !
As a Gala fan, I am looking forward to playing against Leeds in European tournaments. I admire their passion. Glad that they are back.
Congratulations Leeds fans 👏👏💪💪🔥🔥
great video i cant to see how well bielsa does in the premier league and how will his players adapt against the big 6 and the middle table teams!
Brilliant briefing, cheers!!!!
I will congratulate to Leeds United and their loyal fans for real. This manager is especial and I hope he stays with Leeds. I’m not Leeds fan but I use to watch them old school
Marching on together! We love you Leeds!!!
Congratulations Leeds! You deserve this more than any team! The supporters have been through so much shit and never once turned their backs. Nope, they were there week after week being the 12th man! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. Marcelo Bielsa, wow.. what an extraordinary man! Well done to all, from a Celtic supporter.
Fantastic detail in the video! Thanks! Hard to get quality coverage of the ECL in USA. Next season plenty of EPL games will be available. It’ll be fun and challenging.
I knew by the time i became manager someone will still my tactic 😭😭😭. At least it's a crazy guy like me. Congrats to him. He is awesome
It's about time. I thought they would have bottled it again, but it's well deserved. I guarantee Leeds wont go down to the championship after 1 season, not under Bielsa
Y lo hizo de nuevo !!🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏 Grande Marcelo Bielsa
Yaaay! I feel for Leeds United! 👏👏👏
Superb bro. Thank you. MOT
El famoso enganche...que posición privilegiada..un especialista en la materia Bielsa. Grande
Brilliant video well done 👍🏼
felicidades al profe Bielsa y al leeds. Es el premio a la continuidad👏👏👏
Teams like Leicester, Sheffield utd and wolves will become big clubs in the future coming from a utd fan
We’ve had beef with their support for some reason but I’ve always quite liked Leeds and look forward to more classics between them and Newcastle. Never a dull moment between us.
Great video this 👏🏼 New Subscriber
Marching on together to the Premier league💙💛
I wish leeds the best of luck in the premier league from a chelsea fan
More of this series please
the nostalgic in me is happy to see Leeds back in the prem. the pragmatist in me couldn't care less.
Aguante Bielsa y Aguante la Argentina, carajooooooo!!!
Bielsa made Chile a team that went from absolute zero to gain a recognition unheard of for a small country like ours. Bielsa, Bielsa querido, los chilenos, jamás te olvidarán!!!!
I hope they stay in the Premier league for a long time.
It would be grave injustice to never see bielsa managing barcelona
Great account :-) Thx so much
MARCELO BIELSA!!! LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS 💙💛
i wish leeds the best of luck in the premier league from a chelsea fan
i always had a soft spot for them and have huge respect for the club and its fan base
It's encouraging seeing marcelo taking the limelight
Ojalá que el loco Bielsa siga un par de años más para posicionar al Leeds a lo más alto del mundo se lo merecen
Congrats leeds, great team, great coach
When I was a little kid I saw Leeds as a super strong team. I really liked them but kind of forgot about them after disappearing from premier league. Super excited to see them back!!
Excellent video 👏👏👏👏
Bielsa,tem carácter, é original!
Wonderful video ! One thing I have in mind is that El Loco has probably already analyzed all Prem teams and has in mind players that will bring the club to another level. Wondering who those players are and if the club can even afford them.
Grande Loco!
The best signing you can make is always the manager. And in Bielsa Leeds have one of the best
UNITED FAN here happy for Leeds, would loved to see a United v Leeds match again.
Love for Bielsa and leeds from 🇪🇸, Bielsa is the best and most authentic manager in the world
I'm so happy that The Fabolous Leeds are back. Leeds was one of my team's I loved . In the 70s welcome back to the premier League .
Bielsa is legendary .what a coach he is
Great video
I wish Leeds the best of luck in the BPL I will be supporting them !
Bielsa will definitely make next season more enjoyable. Love a good underdog story.
as a man united supporter welcome back to the prem. we may be rivals but i can always respect a club with loads of history and look forward to those matches more than those against plastic clubs like man city and chelsea
Es el ( D10S ) DE TODOS LOS TECNICOS BIELSA CARAJO!! LEEDS CARAJO!!! 🇦🇷✌️🇦🇷
I cant wait to watch Leed United in EPL...It will enjoy to watch
