Description

Marcelo Bielsa vs The Damned United is a fan's account of two extraordinary seasons at Leeds United, which culminated in the club's return to the Premier League after a 16-year exile. Bielsa, one of the most revered managers in world football, quickly transformed a mediocre group of players into would-be title winners and raced to the top of the Championship.But his biggest foe was the very club he had come to save, a club where controversy and calamity are never far away. The controversial 'Spygate' saga derailed the seasonand the team collapsed at the finish line in heartbreaking and calamitous fashion. The following season Bielsa faced more controversy, more chaos, and just as his team reached the finish line again, along came a global pandemic.This book captures the essence of a unique football genius, and the trials and tribulations of a long-suffering fan base - in love with their manager, electrified by his football and often deranged by a rollercoaster two-year promotion race.

Media Reviews

"What makes this book come to life is the passion and commitment Dean feels for his lifelong club." * Goodreads *

"Remind yourself of the great man's genius by getting this excellent book. Brilliant read!"

* LUFC Mad *

"A pretty effortless read and nicely sums up the excitement, despair and unfathomable joy of the 2018-2020 period."

-- Jon How * Leeds United author *

"This tale is given a different spin by the writer where the hurt and humour comes to the fore - and it is therefore an extremely entertaining artefact."
