Americans in the Premier League as Jesse Marsch heads to Leeds

Jesse Marsch is the man tasked with keeping Leeds United in the Premier League after the Yorkshire club sacked Marcelo Bielsa last weekend.

The 48-year-old became only the third American to manage in England's top-flight, taking charge of his first game yesterday as his side lost at Leicester.

Marsch lasted only 21 games at RB Leipzig in Germany earlier this season, winning just eight and losing nine of them, but must now revive a Leeds team that has conceded 21 times in their last six outings to leave them just two points above the drop.
