American Jesse Marsch to Replace Marcelo Bielsa as Leeds United Manager

Jesse Marsch’s next chapter in his career managing abroad will take place in the Premier League.

Marsch, who most recently managed the Bundesliga’s RB Leipzig, will take over for Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United after Bielsa was sacked on Sunday.

Bielsa’s reign at Elland Road began in 2018 with Leeds as a mid-table Championship side that he rapidly turned around. The next year Leeds finished third, then finished first, winning promotion to the Premier League where it would place ninth after a remarkable first season in the top flight since 2003-‘04.

The Argentine fell out of favor with the club battling relegation this season.
