Former Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa said he once sent a worker spying on Derby County in 2019
Former Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has previously admitted that he once sent a colleague to spy on Derby County in 2019 ahead of the Championship match, and the Yorkshire club was subsequently fined £200,000.
