Swansea favourite Bielsa is 'an absolute one off'
South American football expert Tim Vickery gives an insight into the strange world of football manager Marcelo Bielsa. The 60-year-old is the favourite for the Swansea job after Garry Monk was sacked last week.
Vickery said: 鈥淏ielsa is a man at the absolute pinnacle of his profession and one of the few people who Pep Guardiola sat down with before taking over at Barcelona. He is one of the most respected coaches in the world."
Burnley midfielder Joey Barton played at Marseille the season after Bielsa was sacked and reveals the Argentine has "one of the greatest libraries of football videos" and refuses to watch anything that is not on VHS.
Vickery added: "He is an absolute one-off."
