Weâre certain Leeds fans will be flocking to the club store and pretending to be Marcelo Bielsa in their back gardens this week.
Thatâs because the Championship high-flyers have started selling the âBielsa Bucketâ.
Often seen sat on the touchline, the Elland Road manager has been synonymous with the makeshift seat throughout his career and now supporters can have their own.
Selling for £80, according to some fans on social media, the bucket is still sure to be a popular purchase among the Leeds faithful.
The Argentine regularly sits on his bucket, preferring it to standing or his seat way back in the dugout. When asked about the peculiar routine shortly after taking charge of Leeds, he told reporters:Â âYou want me to tell you more than what it is? Itâs just a bucket.
âI have nothing to add. Itâs a comfortable bucket.â
Rotherham boss Paul Warne, however, was really impressed despite having his own reservations early on.
âSitting down on that thingâs a bit weird,â Warne said.
âTo be honest, when it started, I canât lie, I was a little bit nervy and Iâm thinking, âphh, howâs it going to go today?â
âI thought âI just need a little sit down for a minuteâ, but because heâs sitting down, Iâm sitting down and Iâm waiting for the press to go âoh, heâs copying him!â.
âSo I thought Iâve got to stand up, stay standing up. I jumped up straight away. But his looks more comfortable than my ice box. Itâs a class bit of kit that. Iâm pretty impressed.â
And, of course, we canât talk about the bucket without sharing this from his time at MarseilleâŚ
Absolute classic.
