Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa calls impromptu press conference a day after EFL investigate 'spygate'

Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has scheduled an impromptu press conference for 5pm on Wednesday.

Bielsa is currently under investigation by the Football League after he admitted sending someone to spy on Derby County’s training ahead of their meeting at Elland Road last week, which Leeds won 2-0.

On Tuesday the EFL announced that Bielsa and Leeds would be formally investigated over the incident, which Derby manager Frank Lampard said disrupted his training session as police arrived on the scene.

Bielsa admitted that the person spying had indeed been sent there on his orders and took full responsiblitly for the incident, but refused to rule out using such tactics again in future. 

Leeds are currently top of the Championship by four points over both Sheffield United and Norwich City.
