They’re asking for a picture with the head coach of Leeds.“I understand the feeling that links the fans with the person who represents their club so I never say no to anyone who asks.The most significant thing in football is the love people have for their club and the identification of many around something which allows them to gather together and express themselves.2

The Argentine is incredibly popular in Leeds

“We live in an individualist society but this is something which unites people.“The chance to be part of it in a privileged position is something people desire, and its a privilege to be here.The Whites are currently third in the Championship, two points off Norwich and Sheffield United, however they have a game in hand on both promotion rivals.Bolton travel to Elland Road on Saturday as Leeds return to action after an extended break.
