No promotion promise from new Leeds Head Coach Marcelo Bielsa
He spoke to us for the first time since being appointed earlier this month.
Marcelo Bielsa refused to set targets or make any promises in his first press conference as Leeds manager.
Bielsa, 62, has embarked on his first job in English football after signing a two-year deal with the option of a third season to replace Paul Heckingbottom 10 days ago.
The former Argentina and Chile boss was Leeds' top target in their quest to end their 14-year Premier League exile, but would not be drawn on whether he could get them promoted in his first season.
"It's imprudent to promise something which you know can never be guaranteed,'' Bielsa said via his translator.
"At the same time, not to dream about that would be impossible. What drives you is having that hope, desire and belief that you can achieve what everyone wants.
"Setting objectives, parameters in advance - I don't think it's the ideal message of support. The users of these messages are the fans.
"The history of this club, everyone knows how to measure success or failure at the end of the season.
"If you try to predict the future you're almost becoming a demi-god rather than a football coach.''
Bielsa, whose previous clubs include Newell's Old Boys, Espanyol, Atletico Bilbao, Marseille and Lille, said he did not have to be persuaded to take on the job at Elland Road.
"It was a case of me convincing myself. Nobody had to convince me. I was convinced by the strength of Leeds United as a club and an institution,'' he said.
"I looked at things from a sporting, football point of view and those things together helped me make my choice. That's how I decided.''
Bielsa spent seven years in charge of Argentina, guiding them to Olympic gold in 2004 and to the runners-up spot in the Copa America the same year.
He also guided Chile to the 2010 World Cup, while Athletic Bilbao reached both the Europa League final and Copa del Rey final under him in 2012.
Leeds faltered after showing early promise in the Sky Bet Championship last season to finish 13th in the table, but Bielsa said there would not be wholesale changes during the summer.
"For the moment we're not intending to bring too many new faces in,'' he added. "From my point of view the club have got plenty of players I feel should remain here.
"The club have got 15 players more than they need and we still have four or five positions on the field where we need to strengthen."
