Ex-USMNT captain Alexi Lalas backs Southampton to appoint Jesse Marsch and even claims it'd be a 'chef's kiss moment' for the American coach to potentially steer the Saints away from relegation at Leeds' expense

Ex-USMNT captain Alexi Lalas has discussed Jesse Marsch potentially becoming Southampton's next head coach and has claimed that it'd be a 'chef's kiss moment' for the American to steer the Saints clear of relegation at Leeds' expense.

The 49-year-old, from Racine, Wisconsin, was fired on February 6 after nearly a year in charge of the West Yorkshire club, which looks set to be battling against relegation for the second straight season in the Premier League.

The Whites haven't won any of their last nine league games and are currently sitting a point above the drop in 17th place.
