Jesse Marsch: An in-depth look at the incoming Leeds United chief's managerial record - Yorkshire Post 28/2/22

-


Leeds United look set to appoint American Jesse Marsch as their new manager following Marcelo Bielsa's departure on Sunday.

By Ben McKenna

The Whites relieved Bielsa of his duties following a run of six games without a win in a string of results that also saw them concede 21 goals.

Marsch will reportedly be in charge for Leeds when they take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium this Saturday at 12.30pm.

Marsch will need to hit the ground running at Leeds, with the club dropping worryingly down the Premier League table. The American has coached four clubs during his managerial career, taking charge of over 300 games.

Here we take a look at how he has fared since going into management in 2012.

Montreal Impact

Marsch was the first manager of the Canadian club as they entered the MLS ahead of the 2012 season. He took charge of 36 games, winning 12, drawing seven and losing 17.

His win record was 33 per cent before he left his position after one season. Montreal scored 45 goals under Marsch and conceded 53.

New York Red Bulls

He took charge of New York in January 2015 and would spend three years at the club, leaving in July 2018.

In his first season he was voted MLS coach of the year. During his reign, he managed 151 games. He won 75, drew 32 and lost 44.

He left the club with a win ratio just shy of 50 per cent. The Red Bulls scored 256 goals under Marsch and conceded 175.

Red Bull Salzburg

Marsch's most successful managerial spell undoubtedly came in Austria with Salzburg. He took charge of the club in the summer of 2019 and won the league and cup double in his debut season before repeating the feat the following campaign.

He also guided the Austrian outfit to successive Champions League group appearances. He left the club with an impressive win ratio of 68 per cent.

Out of his 94 games in charge at Salzburg he won 64. He lost just 17 times and drew 13. Salzburg netted 290 times under Marsch and conceded just 113 times.

RB Leipzig

Marsch was assistant coach at Leipzig during the 2018-19 season before leaving for Salzburg. He returned as head coach ahead of the 2021-22 campaign, replacing Julian Nagelsmann who had joined Bayern Munich.

However, he left the club at the beginning of December after winning just eight of 21 games in charge in all competitions. He drew four and lost the other nine for a win ratio of 38 per cent.

Overall

His overall win percentage sits at just under 53 per cent. If he is to be appointed at Leeds, he will likely need to win at least three of the club's remaining 12 games to give the Whites a reasonable chance of survival.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United board break silence after transfer window with statement on upcoming Elland Road development — YEP 2/9/24

By Joe Donnohue Leeds United have confirmed supporters' commemorative stones at Elland Road's Centenary Square will be replaced free of charge in a bid to improve their longevity. Beginning next month, Leeds supporters' personalised stones will be replaced with exact replicas, courtesy of a new company, to ensure of a 'much better quality' installation. The work is expected to take around two months to complete. An official club statement confirmed 'three larger stones dedicated to former managers Don Revie, Howard Wilkinson and Marcelo Bielsa' will also be installed, 'similar to those located in Bremner Square', while additional space for supporters to purchase new stones has also been factored into the project. “The club have taken on board recent feedback from supporters on the stones at Centenary Square, and we are really happy that we can now announce that all of the stones will be replaced," chief executive Angus Kinnear confirmed,...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
