The Argentine guided Leeds back into the Premier League in his second season in charge as the Whites went on to finish ninth in their first top-flight season for 16 years.
This term, United have only won five league games and a run of six matches without a win, which included five defeats, has forced the club's hand.
Bielsa will always be remembered fondly for the style of football he brought to Leeds as well as the way he conducted himself while in the Elland Road hotseat.
But just how does his final win percentage compare to the managers who came before him?
It is no surprise that Don Revie has the best win ratio of any Leeds manager in the club's history, as he won almost 400 of his 740 games in charge.
We have taken a look at the stats to see where Bielsa sits in the top 10 of the all-time win percentage table for Leeds United managers, only including those men who have been appointed permanently at the club.
