Leeds United fans might soon see their old hero Marcelo Bielsa back in England again.
The legendary coach who took Leeds back to the Premier League could make a comeback to Wembley but this time not with Leeds, with Uruguay.
It has been nearly four years since Bielsa left Elland Road, yet his name still means everything to Leeds fans.
He is the man who gave them pride, hope, and football that was beautiful to watch.
Bielsa’s Glory Days with Leeds United
When people talk about Bielsa Leeds, they talk about magic. He came in when the club was struggling, and within two seasons, he made history by winning promotion to the Premier League in 2019/20.
Under coach Bielsa, players like Patrick Bamford, Luke Ayling and Kalvin Phillips became stars.
Leeds finished in the top half of the table during their first season back, playing attacking football that made every game exciting.
Fans loved Bielsa for more than football, they loved his humble way of life. He lived simple, spoke the truth, and made Elland Road feel alive again.
Marcelo Bielsa Could Face England at Wembley
Now, new reports suggest Marcelo Bielsa could be back on English soil soon. According to The Guardian, England are planning a friendly match in March 2026, and Bielsa’s Uruguay could be one of the opponents.
If the match happens, it will be held at Wembley, and thousands of Leeds United Marcelo Bielsa fans will surely fill the stands to cheer for Uruguay.
England, now managed by Thomas Tuchel, wants to prepare well before the 2026 World Cup.
They are likely to face two strong teams, Uruguay and Japan in March as part of their warm-up games.
Uruguay, under Bielsa, have already qualified for the World Cup. The 70-year-old Argentine coach is set to lead them again on the biggest stage in world football.
Leeds Fans Still Love Bielsa Like a Legend
Even after all these years, Bielsa still feels part of Leeds United’s family. Former Leeds boss Steven Evans recently shared how Bielsa supported him and showed his kind nature, a sign of the man he truly is.
Many fans are already joking that Wembley will turn into “Elland Road South” if Bielsa’s team visits England. Some even say the match should be played in Leeds but if that happens, it might feel more like a home game for Bielsa than for England!
One thing’s for sure, wherever Bielsa goes, Leeds fans will follow. His name still brings emotion, pride, and memories of when Leeds played fearless football again.
