Marcelo Bielsa salary to be increased to £8m a year after Leeds United promotion?

By , Senior Reporter
A report claims that Marcelo Bielsa is to earn a pay rise on his £6m-a-year deal at Leeds United as a reward for ending the club's 16-year wait for top-flight football.

Leeds United are reportedly planning to reward boss Marcelo Bielsa with a new £8m-a-year contract after guiding the club back to the Premier League.

The Whites sealed top spot in the Championship on Saturday, less than 24 hours on from their promotion being confirmed, all without kicking a ball.

After ending the Yorkshire outfit's 16-year wait for top-flight football, The Sun reports that Bielsa is now in line for a big pay rise.

Bielsa, believed to currently earn close to £6m a year, is said to be close to agreeing fresh terms that will keep him tied down at Elland Road until 2022.

Leeds have two more games to play this season, the first of those a trip to Derby County on Sunday afternoon.
