LONDON - For a man nicknamed"El Loco" and with little silverware in his long managerial career, Marcelo Bielsa is an unlikely hero to a younger generation of coaches including Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino.
Bielsa revealed the exhaustive scouting he does of every opponent he has ever faced amid accusations of underhand tactics. Bielsa made his name winning three league titles in Argentina with Newell's Old Boys and Velez Sarsfield, where the season was divided into two leagues of 19 games. Many expected Bielsa to walk. But in his second season he has managed to leave a legacy similar to that he left at Newell's - where the club's stadium now bears his name - and with the Chilean national team, whom he led to a first World Cup in 12 years.
