Angus Kinnear has opened up on the “collective failure” at Leeds United which saw Jesse Marsch dismissed from his post as head coach on Monday. The American arrived as a relative unknown to English football following stints at Red Bull franchises Salzburg and Leipzig.
His philosophy was dubbed as a continuation of Marcelo Bielsa’s work but, unlike the popular Argentine, Marsch did not receive universal adulation when leaving Elland Road. A disastrous run of two wins from 18 league fixtures sounded a death knell for the 49-year-old.
The final straw for Andrea Radrizzani came at Nottingham Forest last weekend when, despite boasting 70 percent possession and almost twice as many shots, Leeds lost 1-0. Youth coach Michael Skubala was temporarily tasked with fronting a three-man setup for the double-header against Manchester United.
