Premier League Club Leeds City Appoint New Manager

Jesse Marsch has been appointed as the new head coach of Leeds United on a three-and-a-half-year deal after the departure of Marcelo Bielsa on Sunday.

The Argentine was dismissed following a 4-0 defeat to Tottenham, leaving Leeds 16th in the Premier League table and two points from the relegation places.

Marsch – who has previously coached at New York Red Bulls and RB Salzburg – has signed a contract until June 2025 and will be tasked with turning around the club’s recent form, with Leeds having not won in six league outings.

The 48-year-old American started the season as coach at RB Leipzig, replacing Bayern-bound Julian Nagelsmann.
