What they couldn’t do as players on the court, they do from the bench as coaches, so this Saturday there is a titanic battle in the Premier League, when Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United enters the home of José Mourinho’s Tottenham, in duel that corresponds to matchday 17.
Insanity and systems are your best weapons for the pair of defenses that weren’t very smart on the field and therefore they did not stand out as football players.
Mourinho was more adventurousHis path as part of a technical staff began as a translator and assistant to Bobby Robson, first at Sporting Lisbon and later at Porto; on the other hand, the “Loco” Bielsa went from below, biting from below into the quarry of Newell’s Old Boys, where he showed his magic little by little.
Both are all football libraries, the playing style of Bielsa It is clear that the Argentinian likes to be the protagonist with the ball, very few times are his paintings noticed in anticipation of the rival, which undoubtedly gave him to directly in Spain, France, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and England.

Portuguese is very similarHe likes to assemble a group, knows how to speak, achieves his elements, and although his teams are not as ordered as the “Loco”, his results are exceptional.
They both run into problems off the field

Currently Bielsa is suffering from the translations of the Colombian Andrés Clavijo, as the Argentinian does not speak English and needs help.

José Mourinho and Marcelo Bielsa have seen each other a few times, 4 in total, all in LaLiga; the Portuguese in charge of Real Madrid and the Argentinian with Athletic Club, in all cases the victory was for the European, so the South American is taking revenge.
“Each coach is an individual with their own ideas. It can be influenced by one or the other, but it is an individual. I don’t know (Bielsa) well. I think he was Athletic Bilbao’s coach in one of the seasons I was with Real Madrid. This is the first time that we play in the Premier League at the same timeMourinho said last days.
