EPL: Phillips praises Bielsa after Leeds sack

Kalvin Phillips has heaped praises on Marcelo Bielsa following Leeds United’s decision to terminate his contact.

Leeds confirmed on Sunday that Bielsa had left the club in the wake of Saturday’s 4-0 home defeat to Tottenham.

Only four players made more appearances in all competitions under Bielsa than Phillips (131), who posted to Twitter: “Thank you Marcelo for everything you have done for me.

“You saw in me what I didn’t even see in myself. You helped me grow as a player but most importantly as a person.

“Wishing you all the best in your next chapter. Gracias Marcelo. Vamos Leeds Carajo!!”
