A life of Marcelo Bielsa

The Quality of Madness – A life of Marcelo Bielsa

Marcelo Bielsa is one of football’s greatest eccentrics and greatest enigmas. This is the first English biography of one of football’s most contradictory characters. A definitive and comprehensive biography, from growing up in Argentina under a military dictatorship to reviving the stricken power of Leeds United.

Bielsa is described by Pep Guardiola as: ‘the greatest football manager in the world’. To the former Tottenham manager, Mauricio Pochettino, he is ‘my footballing father, the reason I became a player, the reason I became a manager.’
