Leeds United Dismiss Manager Jesse Marsch After 11 Months

Jesse Marsch has been relieved of his duties just 11 months after he was appointed as head coach, Leeds United confirms.

Marsch leaves the club winless in the Premier League since before the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The winless run of Leeds under Marsch leaves them in 17th position on the log, only out of the bottom three on goal difference following their 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

A club statement said: "Leeds United can confirm head coach Jesse Marsch has been relieved of his duties.

"Jesse joined the club in February 2022 and was instrumental in keeping the club in the Premier League on the final day of last season.

"Rene Maric, Cameron Toshack and Pierre Barrieu will also leave the club.

"We would like to thank Jesse and his backroom staff for their efforts and wish them well for the future.

"The process of appointing a new head coach is underway and we will continue to keep supporters up to date throughout the coming days.

Prior to the dismissal of Marsch, the 49-year-old American took full responsibilty for Leeds 1-0 defeat to forest in what proved to be his final match as Leeds boss.

In his post-match news conference, he told Sky Sports: “I’m frustrated and disappointed.

"I have to find a way to get more out of the group.

"I have to make sure that we don't feel sorry for ourselves.

"We have to find a way to stay strong and keep going.

"But I take responsibility. I have to find a way to get more out of us to make sure when we're on top of games, we don't lose them.

West Brom manager Carlos Corberan is being considered as favourite to take over at Elland Road, according to reports.
