(Reuters) - Marcelo Bielsa will remain in charge at Elland Road after Leeds United extended the Argentine coach's contract for a second season and said it had "unfinished business" after narrowly failing to win Premier League promotion.

Bielsa oversaw attractive pass and move football at Leeds as they finished the Championship with 83 points, their highest tally since they were promoted from League One in 2009-2010.
