Leeds sack manager Jesse Marsch

Leeds United have sacked manager Jesse Marsch with the team 17th in the table, one place above the relegation zone, the Premier League club said on Monday.

Jesse joined Leeds in February 2022 and secured the club’s top-flight survival on the final day of last season.

“We would like to thank Jesse and his backroom staff for their efforts and wish them well for the future,” United said in a statement.

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