Former Athletic Club coach Marcelo Bielsa reportedly has agreed a deal to take charge of Lille next season, although that hasn't been made official yet.
The 61-year-old has been out of work since taking over at Lazio last summer, before sensationally departing just two days later, prompting the club to take legal action against him.
However, he is set to return to the dugout in Ligue 1, with a source close to Lille revealing that he will take over next season.
The arrival of Franck Passi as Lille's interim coach is key to paving the way for Bielsa's arrival, given that he worked closely with the Argentine as his assistant during their time together at Marseille.
