Leeds Untied fans don't really need another reason to love Marcelo Bielsa, but old footage of the Argentine posted to social media has continued to indicate just what a one-of-a-kind the veteran manager is.
A video has gone viral of the 64-year-old during his tenure at the helm of Spanish outfit Athletic Bilbao recalling an anecdote about a disagreement he had with a construction company and subsequently reported himself to the police after feeling disappointed in his conduct.
Posted by Twitter user @JimenaJuani, who also provided English subtitles, the footage hails from a press conference during the Whites' boss's days in La Liga, where he tells the story in his characteristic style.
The catalyst for his clash with a construction official came around after the manager felt work in Bilbao's training ground had failed to meet requirements.
"There was no authority to represent Athletic Bilbao so I assumed I had to take care of the complaint," said Bielsa.
Bielsa observes that the company in charge of making some works in the training ground has done them wrong. After arguing with a person from the company, he gets angry. Later, he went to the police station to made a report against himself. #Bielsa #lufc pic.twitter.com/YotFaO10VP

"I was outraged it was not recognised, which was evident, and I began to express myself offensively towards this person.
"He answered me with the same level of aggressiveness. We were in the dressing room where I changed.
"He said I had hit him, and he was going to report what happened, but he has not made any police report.
"For that reason, I have made a police report to my own person. Here I have it, because this man has the right to complain about the bad treatment I gave him."
