Leeds United and the American Revolution

There is a revolution taking place in the Premier League led by the most unlikely people: Americans. The turning of the tide is taking place in Leeds, a town where carbonated water was invented as well as being known for a soccer team that was last relevant in the top flight in the 1990s. The Americanization of Leeds United started at the end of February 2022, when they appointed manager Jesse Marsch, an American soccer player turned coach.

Marsch’s story started as a player best known for his time at the Chicago Fire and Chivas USA in the MLS but then promptly started his coaching career with the Montreal Impact.
