Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani admits manager Marcelo Bielsa is a year-to-year prospect.

At 65, talk is already turning to Bielsa's potential departure or retirement.

It took until just two days before Leeds kicked off their 2020/21 season for Bielsa to pen a new one-year deal, while he has also been linked with the job at Man Utd.

Asked about the prospect of Bielsa moving on, Radrizanni told beIN Sports: "Well, I hope he can stay with us for a long time, but we like to decide year by year because obviously as I said in another interview he's not a young manager, he's 65 and his family, his wife is often in Argentina.

"Hopefully he can stay longer – 60 is the new 40 these days! If not, I think what he's building is the foundation for a proper club.

"I say that [we're] really convinced of his job, because it's not only what you can see every game, but what he has done in terms of changing the facilities, the work ethic – they really reflect what I wanted to do in the club so I'm very pleased with his job."
