The chaos at Sporting CP presents an interesting job opportunity for Marcelo Bielsa.

According to Record, Bielsa could join the Portuguese side as they look for a new manager after recent issues.

Sporting are in the midst of a crisis due to an altercation between fans and players as well as a breakdown in relations between the owner and the team including the coaching personnel.

This had led to players making it clear they want a transfer away, and manager Jorge Jesus has taken over at Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal.

Bielsa's talks with Leeds have continued to drag on in recent days, which suggests that they can't agree on certain areas.

Therefore, the Argentine may be tempted to try his look elsewhere because the Portuguese club are likely to welcome him with open arms due to the current issues.

The Verdict

Most managers would avoid such a challenging scenario, but it has the ideal groundwork for Bielsa because he would be able to bring in the targets he desires and build something from scratch. His methods usually require at the clubs he joins, so this move would avoid that step altogether.

This would be disappointing for Leeds and neutral fans alike because it would be a great sight to see Bielsa in the Championship, and how his approach fares in the division over such a gruelling league campaign.
