It was confirmed on Monday that former Leeds United coach Pep Clotet will be leaving his role at Birmingham City at the end of this season.

The Spaniard is leaving St Andrew's after finishing his first season as a head coach, one of the highlights the famous falling out with Garry Monk.

Clotet has suggested that he left to explore different options, although some Leeds fans have welcomed him back with open arms.

Marcelo Bielsa has cemented his spot as a hero at Elland Road, and the South American has a massive entourage behind him in his backroom staff.

Carlos Corberan was promoted to Bielsa's staff once he first arrived at the club, but he was offered the chance to bring another person in by Andrea Radrizzani.

Phil Hay reported that Bielsa was offered the chance to bring Alan Smith to Thorp Arch, but he declined that opportunity.

Many Leeds fans have reacted to the news, some suggesting that he is getting away from the Midlands club because of the reported interest from Massimo Cellino.

It was reported by Tuttomercatoweb that Cellino was potentially interested in purchasing the Blues, controversial to say the least.
