Marcelo Bielsa admitted Leeds have spied on every team this season as he gave a PowerPoint presentation at an emergency press conference on Wednesday.
Twenty-four hours before Leeds took on promotion rivals Derby at Elland Road, a member of Bielsa's staff was spotted at the Rams' training ground and police were called.
Frank Lampard and his players were upset by what they felt was a move that crossed the line and while Bielsa admitted it the night of the game, he further clarified his position on Wednesday.

Bielsa called an emergency press conference on Wednesday afternoon to explain the incident
The assembled media sat in front of a computer screen which projected a presentation with all of Bielsa's backroom staff stood are at the back of the room.
The Leeds manager was joined by trusted translator Salim Lamrani at a small table at the front of the room as he made his way through a detailed presentation.
'I don't want to compare my behaviour with previous behaviour that are similar,' Bielsa said.
'I heard there are others which also affected fair play but absolutely, I don't want to defend myself by attacking others. What I've done is not illegal. It's not specified (in the rules) and it's not restrained.
'We can discuss it, it's not seen as a good thing but it's not a violation of the law. I know that not everything that is legal is right to do.'
