Leeds boss Bielsa snaps at reporter over sack question

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has rejected claims he's considered his future after their 7-0 thrashing by Manchester City.

Bielsa faced questions surrounding his future in his pre-match press conference ahead of the team's game with Arsenal this weekend.

"Of course I'm going to continue fighting until the end of the season," Bielsa insisted. "[If you] Listen to what I said before, that I said I always think upon adversity you always have to fight. You never know if the strength is going to be enough and what is the progression of the difficulties that we've come up against.

"Having said that, I'm going to fight until the end of the season without any doubts and I hope that nothing happens that doesn't allow me to act [upon] what I've just said."

Bielsa was also asked whether he feared for the safety of his job, replying with a question of his own: "Do you think that there's a coach that is unsackable?"

"Do you think I'm so vain that I don't think I can be sacked?" he rebuffed.
