5 potential replacements for Jesse Marsch after Leeds United sack manager

Leeds United are on the lookout for a new manager after announcing the sacking of Jesse Marsch less than a year into his reign at Elland Road.

The American coach, 49, was hired last February following the club's emotional decision to axe beloved boss Marcelo Bielsa, as the Yorkshire side faced the threat of relegation from the Premier League after just two seasons back in the top tier. Marsch led a survival charge as Leeds escaped the drop on the final day, with Burnley going down in their place.

This term hasn't been much better, though, leaving the former Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig gaffer out of work following Sunday's dismal 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. The Elland Road hierarchy - led by chairman Andrea Radrizzani - are now drawing up a list of candidates to replace Marsch, with Chris Armas set to act as caretaker boss for back-to-back games against Manchester United this week.
