Jesse Marsch earned the praise of former Rangers striker and TalkSport pundit Ally McCoist, after the American guided Leeds United to Premier League safety on the final day of the season. The Whites needed to better Burnley's result against Newcastle on Sunday and they managed that as Leeds beat Brentford 2-1 at the Brentford Community Stadium, whilst Burnley fell to a 2-1 home defeat to the Magpies.
McCoist praised Marsch for his positivity, as well as stating that the Leeds manager had answered the 'question marks' over him by delivering on his objective of maintaining the club's Premier League status when he was brought in to replace Marcelo Bielsa.
The Scotsman told the Sports Breakfast: "He's as positive a manager as you get in the top flight just now and it looks as if the players have bought into [what he's trying to do]. There were question marks, obviously, when Bielsa left. Marsch coming in, could he keep them in the division and that was his remit straight away, immediately and he did it. He's come up with the goods.
