Leeds secured promotion on Friday after second-placed West Bromwich Albion's loss at Huddersfield Town before being confirmed as champions with Brentford's defeat by Stoke City."I've worked in football for 30 years and one title doesn't change a lot, the percentage of trophies I have," said Bielsa, who took charge of Leeds in 2018 after trophy-less stints with Marseille, Lazio and Lille.
Bielsa's contract is due to expire at the end of the season and the Argentine remained tight-lipped about his future."I don't want to put the focus on me. I think that everything that is linked with me, right now, it's not the moment to talk about this," he said.
