American Manager Jesse Marsch Leaves RB Leipzig After Four Months

RB Leipzig and manager Jesse Marsch "have mutually agreed to part ways" just four months into the American coach's tenure.

Marsch originally signed a two-year contract in April to replace Julian Nagelsmann, who joined Bayern Munich. The 48-year-old won two Austrian Bundesliga titles and Austrian Cups in two seasons coaching RB Salzburg before the move to Leipzig.

However, Marsch's success didn't follow him across the border to Germany. RB Leipzig sits in 11th in the Bundesliga table after its third straight league loss on Friday—a 2–1 defeat to Union Berlin that Marsch missed after testing positive for COVID-19.
