Bielsa has come under intense scrutiny in recent days after The EFL launched a formal investigation into 'spygate'. The Leeds boss instructed a member of staff to spy on a Derby training session before the Yorkshire side ran out 2-0 winners in the contest. Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has called an emergency press conference amid 'spygate' LEEDS 'SPYGATE' STATEMENT Following comments made by Marcelo Bielsa yesterday the club will look to work with our head coach and his staff to remind them of the integrity and honesty which are the foundations that Leeds United is built on. Our owner Andrea Radrizzani has met with Derby County's owner Mel Morris to formally apologise for Marcelo's actions. We will make no further comment on this matter. Bielsa typically speaks to the media on Thursday as a pre-match press conference for the weekend and so news he has called an emergency media briefing on Wednesday is out of the ordinary. The Leeds boss admitted before Friday night's 2-0 win over Derby that he was responsible for sending the staff member to watch the promotion rivals training on Thursday. Derbyshire Police were forced to intervene and move the individual on, while Leeds have since apologised to Derby and said they will remind Bielsa of his responsibilities. It remains unclear as to the nature of what Bielsa is going to give a statement on as fans were left worried by the emergency announcement of a press conference for fears he may resign from his position. Leeds' statement on the matter read: 'Following comments made by Marcelo Bielsa yesterday the club will look to work with our head coach and his staff to remind them of the integrity and honesty which are the foundations that Leeds United is built on. 'Our owner Andrea Radrizzani has met with Derby County's owner Mel Morris to formally apologise for Marcelo's actions.'
