Fabrizio Romano has been speaking on the FIVE YouTube channel about what players who have played under new Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch have told him.
Leeds are entering a new dawn without Marcelo Bielsa as Marsch gets set to oversee his first match as a Premier League manager on Saturday when they take on Leicester City.
Will Marsch keep Leeds in the Premier League?
Yes!
No!
It’s a risk by the Leeds board to appoint someone with no Premier League experience and won just five league games in his last role, however, he’s clearly been lined up as a Bielsa replacement for a long time, so fans would hope the board have done their necessary homework on Marsch.
Romano believes that it is a good appointment for the Leeds squad, based on what Marsch’s former players have had to say about him.
“[From the] player’s side, I have very good feedbacks on Jesse Marsch; they love his approach, they love his ideas, they love his methods.
“It’s more about the club. They need to really back him and support him, give him time to show his ideas, because it’s kind of [Ralf] Rangnick mentality – it’s always about the Red Bull Group, and they need time to show their ideas.
“I’m curious to see if Leeds will really back him long-term, but this is what they say, so it’s interesting.”
TIF Thoughts on Jesse Marsch as Leeds United manager…
Given the outpouring of emotion that has come from Leeds fans since Bielsa was officially sacked, it’s safe to say that the majority of fans were not ready to see the Argentine leave just yet, however, it seems the board were and took it upon themselves to sack the manager who finally got them out of the Championship.
Marsch has had four roles as a manager, with three of them coming under the Red Bull Group ownership at Salzburg, Leipzig and New York Red Bulls, but with his spell at Leipzig being a huge failure, many Leeds fans may be concerned over how much of an impact Marsch can make with just 12 league games left to play.
