Jesse Marsch became head coach of Leeds United in February 2022.

As a player, Marsch was a midfielder for D.C. United, Chicago Fire and Chivas USA in MLS, as well as for the USA.

Following his retirement, Marsch had a spell as assistant coach to the US national team before taking on the role as head coach at Montreal Impact in 2012.

Three years later he joined New York Red Bulls, leading the team to the MLS Supporters’ Shield.

Named MLS Coach of the Year in 2015, Marsch moved to Europe three years, firstly as assistant to Ralf Rangnick at RB Leipzig before taking over as head coach at Red Bull Salzburg the next year. At Salzburg he won the Bundesliga and Austrian Cup before returning to RB Leipzig to become head coach in the summer of 2021. 

Marsch and Leipzig agreed to a parting of the ways two months before he took over at Elland Road. 

His appointment proved to be the correct choice by Leeds as Marsch helped the club avoid a return to the Championship in 2021/22.

However he was relieved of his duties in February 2023, less than a year after his appointment.
