Marcelo Bielsa will remain as Leeds' head-coach after he confirmed that "everything is sorted" for him to stay in charge at Elland Road.

"I will be working the next season at Leeds United," Bielsa told a news conference this lunchtime ahead of their trip to reigning champions Liverpool on Saturday.
