THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER The behind-the-scenes
story of the Marcelo Bielsa revolution at Leeds United and their
first season back in the Premier League after sixteen years of
hurt. FEATURING FRESH PERSONAL INSIGHT FROM MARCELO BIELSA When
Marcelo Bielsa was appointed head coach of Leeds United in the
summer of 2018, the club had just finished 13th in the Championship
- their 15th consecutive season outside the top flight - and were
defined as much by their excesses and disasters off the pitch as
their lack of success on it. Bielsa changed everything. In guiding
Leeds back to the promised land of the Premier League, he has
transformed the club into a vastly more dynamic, entertaining and
professional outfit, fully endearing himself to the Leeds faithful
and capturing the imaginations of football fans around the world.
With his unique tactical approach, strict diet and body fat
controls and a gruelling training schedule - including his infamous
'murderball' sessions - Bielsa has shaped a gang of Championship
misfits and journeymen into a team that plays breathtakingly
relentless attacking football and is more than capable of going
toe-to-toe with the game's established heavyweights. In And it was
Beautiful, Phil Hay documents the fortunes of Leeds United under
Marcelo Bielsa during their return to the Premier League for the
2020/21 season. By weaving in stories of crises from the club's
purgatory in the English Football League, he presents a
comprehensive and compelling portrait of an enigmatic manager whose
values are the antithesis of everything that has previously gone
wrong at Leeds during the dark days of Ken Bates, Massimo Cellino
and GFH. Phil pulls back the curtain on Bielsa's innovative
tactical methods, his unconventional yet highly productive
relationship with owner Andrea Radrizzani and Director of Football
Victor Orta, his intensely loyal backroom team and the
extraordinary cultural impact Bielsa has had on the city of Leeds -
from murals and songs to cult fanbases in the provinces of
Argentina. The result is a unique and beautiful love affair that
has made dreams come true.
