Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear says the terms of a deal to keep Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road for a fourth season have been agreed by both parties.

The Argentine, 65, who has been at Leeds since 2018, signed a one-year deal 24 hours before the start of the last season in September.

He has again waited until the end of the season to decide his future.

"He's certainly very much with Leeds United for next season," Kinnear said.

Talking to BBC Radio Leeds, Kinnear added: "I have no doubt as to his commitment and as normal with Marcelo, putting pen to paper is an irrelevance.

"We agreed the terms several weeks ago, several months ago perhaps. It's really emotionally and psychologically where he is."
