So, why does Bielsa watch from a bucket?

-

SOME managers march up and down the touchline. Others watch from the dugout. Marcelo Bielsa sits on a bucket. The consensus is that Bielsa prefers observing the action from that specific angle. Some claim the bucket is to help with his back pain he’s suffered since he was a player. He used a coolbox while manager at Marseille and in his first season at Leeds, fans were able to purchase their own from the club shop. Bielsa’s view? ‘It’s just a bucket. I have nothing to add. It’s a comfortabl­e bucket.’
