Leeds hasn't won any of i🌼ts last seven games in the league and has☂ dropped into 17th place in the 20-team division, only out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
Marsch's last game was a 1-0 loss at 𝓰Nottingham Forest on Sunday, after which he said he understood the frustrations of fans calling for his dismissal and underlined there was a belief inside the club that results would improve.
The 49-ye🧸ar-old Marsch was hired in February last year as a replacement for Marcelo Bielsa, who was manager for 3 1/2 years and got Leeds promoted to the🅷 Premier League after an absence of 16 years.
Under Marsch, Leeds preserved its Prem🐻ier League status on the final day of last season, but has struggled again during this campaign and is without a win since Nov. 5 — before the World Cup.
“We would like to thank Jesse and his backroom staff for t꧋heir efforts and wish them well for the future,” Leeds said in a short state൩ment, adding that the process of hiring a new manager was underway.
𝓰Marsc🧜h had 37 games as Leeds manager and won 11 of them.
Among the club's four signings in the January t𒈔ransfer window was Weston McKenn💃ie, a midfielder whose arrival took the contingent of U.S. players to three after Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams.
Marsch also brought in another American, Chris Armas, as 🗹his assistant last month.
