Leeds United has appointed Jesse Marsch as their new head coach after the departure of Marcelo Bielsa. Marsch has signed a three and a half year deal with the club 16th in the Premier League table. They are just two points above the relegation zone and have dearly missed some key players throughout the season due to injury.
“We are delighted to welcome Jesse to the club and excited for him to lead us into this new chapter,” Leeds United Director of Football Victor Orta said about Jesse Marsch. “Jesse is someone we identified a number of years ago during his time at Red Bull Salzburg and we believe his philosophy and style of football aligns with that of the club and will suit the players very well. We have a long-term plan and firmly believe he can take Leeds United to the next level and are excited for what the future holds.”
“We are really pleased to have quickly secured the services of our first-choice head coach,” Chief Executive Angus Kinnear said. “Whilst the short-term objective for Jesse is obvious, we believe he has the courage and ambition to build on the strong foundations we have created over the last four years and elevate the performance of the club over the long term. He had a great deal of success with New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg and has demonstrated during our many meetings that he is a great fit with the footballing culture of Leeds United.”
