Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has been criticised for his "autistic" behaviour.

The Argentine has been in the spotlight in his first season in English football with Leeds in the hunt for promotion.

He was heavily criticised following the recent Spygate inciden t - before calling an impromptu press conference to announce Leeds had spied on all their opponents this term.

Former France stars Frank Leboeuf and Christophe Dugarry have hit out at Bielsa for his conduct.

The pair both enjoyed spells at Marseille, where Bielsa was in charge between 2014 and 2015.

Speaking to RMC Sport, Leboeuf said: "He's somebody I don't like. I don't like his life philosophy. I don't like how he manages a group and for me he's shown nothing.

'To take the lift in the morning with your captain, to not say hello and to not even look at him, there's a bit of a problem.'

Dugarry added: "It's the way he treats people, journalists, it's a bit autistic, isn't it?"

The pair continued their criticism and suggested Bielsa's counterparts have next to no respect for him.

Leeds are currently second in the Championship following their home defeat to Norwich last time out.
