His parting gift was to embrace the crowds of adoring fans who turned up to say thank you as he left the club's training ground for the final time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn The Athletic's Phil Hay chronicles Leeds United's glorious first season back in the top flight - which saw them finish ninth - after a chaotic sixteen-year absence. Phil pulls back the curtain on the hallmarks that now define the Marcelo Bielsa era, from his gruelling training schedule - including his infamous \"murderball\" sessions - to innovative tactical methods that elevated Championship regulars into Premier League stars. Bielsa performed miracles, turning football into high art and making an extraordinary cultural impact on the city of Leeds. The result is a unique and fitting tribute to a Leeds United icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 308g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 196 x 27 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781841885179\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phil Hay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097642594554,"sku":"9781841885179","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662115461859_book.jpg?v=1662214481","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/and-it-was-beautiful-leeds-united-in-the-era-of-marcelo-bielsa-9781841885179","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
