Jesse Marsch: Leeds sack head coach after one year in charge amid Premier League relegation battle | Football News

Jesse Marsch has been sacked as Leeds head coach after one year in the job.

Marsch has been dismissed with the club only above the relegation zone on goal difference ahead of two Premier League meetings with Manchester United this week.

The 49-year-old was appointed as the successor to Marcelo Bielsa in February 2022 and helped preserve the club’s Premier League status, which was secured with a dramatic final day win at Brentford in May.

Marsch then oversaw more than £140m of spending across the summer and January transfer windows, but Leeds find themselves 17th and only out of the relegation zone on goal difference.

The American’s final game in charge was the 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, which extended their winless run in the Premier League to seven matches.
