Marcelo Bielsa said he has only heard good things about former Leeds boss Paul Heckingbottom. Heckingbottom was sacked by Leeds after less than four months in the role in the summer of 2018 and was replaced by Bielsa two weeks later. The pair will go head-to-head in the Premier League’s Yorkshire derby on Saturday when Heckingbottom returns to Elland Road as Sheffield United’s caretaker manager. Bielsa said: “The people who remain at the club and worked under him, they have a very good concept of the work he did here. He has also justified with the conditions, the abilities he has, his transfer fee,” Bielsa added.
