Leeds United have only reached 'base camp' after securing promotion to the Premier League and their vision is to return to the Uefa Champions League in the coming seasons, chief executive Angus Kinnear has said.
"Whilst we're celebrating, whilst we're all very excited, we've got back to where we belong. This really is base camp for Leeds," Kinnear said.
"Now it's going to be really about building on that and making sure that over the next few years we start to compete at the level Leeds should be competing in, which ultimately is the top six. "Leeds should have a Premier League team. Candidly, Leeds should have a Champions League team and that's the vision."
Three-times English champions Leeds were relegated from the Premier League in 2004 and struggled to compete for promotion until the arrival of Marcelo Bielsa in 2018. Bielsa's contract is due to expire at the end of the season but Kinnear believes the former Argentina coach is in for the long haul.
