Marcelo Bielsa's Premier League achievements with Leeds United this season 'defy logic', according to Graeme Souness.
Prior to the Whites' Tuesday evening clash at Southampton the former Liverpool and Scotland man was effusive in his praise for Bielsa's approach this term, earmarking the Argentine for manager of the season honours.
"They've been the best watch [this season] for me," he told Sky Sports. "They play a brand of football that you can't help but enjoy.
"There's an honesty about them. They're a young group that prior to this year you're thinking these are not Premier League players but to a man, they've stood up and look as if they belong in this league.
"Some of their football has been fantastic and I'd go as far to say that he'd be my manager/coach of the year.
"The football he's got this group of players playing defies logic when you look at where those players were before."
Souness also saluted Bielsa's commitment to getting his side to play attractive football.
"When I watch them, I know it's sounds mad to say, but the manager is not that interested in results but how they play, as long as it's entertaining and we're on the front foot all the time. What a watch. They are a great watch."
