Lille lures Bielsa

ARGENTINIAN coach Marcelo Bielsa, known as ‘el Loco’ for his intense ‘all in’ style, will be back in France as manager of Lille in July. “Lille and the Argentine coach have signed a two years deal which comes into effect in July,” Lille announced yesterday. Bielsa is known for cranking up the pressure and squeezing the most out of modest formations, taking Athletic Bilbao to a Europa League final in 2012, and coming close to a French title with Marseille. He left Marseille in a blaze of fury one game into the 2015-2016 season, before a two-day stint at Italian side Lazio.
