Marcelo Bielsa's latest gesture gets rapturous reaction from Leeds United fans on social media

There have been numerous tales of Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa taking time to connect with fans, and this is just the latest.

The Argentinian has handed out sweets to children welcoming the team coach, regularly poses for photos for fans in Wetherby, and recently sent a letter back to a Leeds supporter that reached out to him.

Now, a Whites fanatic on Twitter has shared the story of how Bielsa signed her daughter's birthday card.

"I sent a birthday card to Marcelo Bielsa to sign for my daughter's birthday and he only went and bloody did it didn't he," she wrote on the social media platform with a picture of his signature in the card.

"Forever humbled by this guy and he has made her birthday with this, thank you Leeds United for bringing this legend in to our lives," shared with the hashtag #BielsaIsGod.

In the replies, the fan revealed how she sent the card to Thorp Arch before receiving it back, signed from the Leeds United head coach himself, 10 days later.

The tweet has since received over 100 likes from fellow United fans and Bielsa devotees.
