Confirmed: Ex Tesla director to move family to Yorkshire as Leeds seal behind-the-scenes deal
Leeds United news as update emerges on ex Tesla director Morrie Eisenberg
In a statement issued by the team, Leeds United announced that they have hired former Tesla director Morrie Eisenberg.
He is coming to Leeds with his whole family to become a full-time member of the Whites, the team announced on their official website on October 26.
He has experience working for the San Francisco 49ers and will take on the role of chief operational officer for the team.
Changes afoot
With a goal of making it back to the Premier League this season, the 49ers are establishing their dominance and molding the team in their image.
The top two are now much ahead, but Leeds cannot rule out finishing in the top two since the Championship is unpredictable.
Eisenberg has a strong resume, so supporters have good cause to be happy about his coming at Elland Road.
He even spent some time working at Microsoft in the early 2000s. He also has years of expertise as the 49ers’ vice president of business operations.
He will be a more involved employee behind the scenes because his whole family is moving with him.
In the coming weeks and months, more details about his particular function will become available. Commercial deals are crucial in today’s modern game.

“Astonishing” – National media praise Leeds United man after he “insulted” defenders with 1st-minute goal
Marc Roca, a midfielder for Leeds United, scored his second goal for Real Betis over the weekend, but his team could only manage a draw away at Getafe.
Daniel Farke, the manager of the Whites, won’t be too concerned about what his loaned players are doing right now, but some of them will see Leeds make money when summer 2024 arrives.
Given his recent success in La Liga, Marc Roca has emerged as one of the players who will most likely provide Leeds an opportunity to raise much-needed transfer funds.
What’s the latest?
When Real Betis traveled to Getafe on the road, Roca was once again making headlines for his indispensable role in the starting lineup under Manuel Pellegrini.
Roca broke through in the opening minute of the game, easily splitting the home side, and casually slotting home the opening goal:
The game ended 1-1 at the end of regulation after Getafe responded 16 minutes later, preventing Betis from earning all three points.
National media praise Roca
As his team surged ahead, Marca commended Roca for the way he executed his goal:
“Chadi Riad, advancing lines, recovered the ball, gave it to Marc Roca, and the Catalan midfielder, with astonishing ease, looked for the wall of Borja Iglesias in the front, stood alone in the area and ‘shot’ with the right to David Soria.”
In contrast, Mundo Deportivo used more creative language to characterize Roca’s attributes to start the scoring:
“Betis gained an advantage very soon because before the first minute of the game a great combination between Borja Iglesias and Marc Roca was completed by the Catalan midfielder with a tight shot with his right leg, impossible for David Soria, who insulted his defenses for the ease with which the Betics had combined in the vicinity of the area with the newly started match.”
Given that Roca is one of the few players displaying true quality, he may end up having a spot at Leeds after his loan period is over.
Having said that, a clean split is still required in the summer of 2019 so that we can recuperate a good price for a player who is already establishing himself in Spain’s top division.
We now have enough replacements in place, so if we go up, we won’t need him or anyone else.
It’s encouraging to see how he intends to guarantee that in 2024 we will recover our investment.
