The Argentine head coach guided Leeds back to the top flight in July but despite the club saying a new deal was due, an agreement has not been formally announced.

However, speaking to the media ahead of Saturday's season opener with Liverpool, Bielsa said: "I will be working the next season at Leeds United."

"Everything has been sorted," he added. "It's definite that I will be here next season."

Bielsa said Saturday's trip to Anfield to face Jurgen Klopp's champions would be "a very special game".
