KAISER CHIEFS star Simon Rix travelled all the way to Uruguay to deliver Leeds legend Marcelo Bielsa a touching gift.<\/p>\n
Bielsa left Elland Road last year after a successful four-year stint that saw him leading the Whites back to the Premier League in 2020.<\/p>\n

The Argentinean tactician is still very much loved by the fans as he introduced some of the best football ever seen at the club and reinstated them to the top flight after a 16-year absence.<\/p>\n
The 68-year-old is so revered that supporters put together a near-7,000-mile journey to Montevideo to show their appreciation.<\/p>\n
Among them was Kaiser Chiefs bassist Rix, who decided to take part in the pilgrimage to offer the Uruguay manager a present that would take them back to the good old days.<\/p>\n
The Leeds fans were in attendance at the Estadio Centenario on Wednesday as they watched Bielsa's side take on Brazil during the international break.<\/p>\n
