The Quality of Madness: A Life of Marcelo Bielsa
'We were all considered mad, Marcelo was thought mad. My grandfather, my father, Maria Eugenia, my sister, were all considered mad and I was as well. The reason was that we took a different path to everybody else.'
Rafael Bielsa, Marcelo's brother, Foreign Secretary of Argentina, 2003-05.
Marcelo Bielsa is one of football's greatest eccentrics and greatest enigmas. He is described by Pep Guardiola 'the greatest football manager in the world'. To the Tottenham manager, Mauricio Pochettino, he is 'my footballing father, the reason I became a player, the reason I became a manager.' This will be the first English biography of one of football's most contradictory characters.
This is a definitive and comprehensive biography from growing up in Argentina under a military dictatorship to reviving the stricken power of Leeds United.
