It has been less than two weeks since Chris Armas arrived at Leeds United in order to bolster Jesse Marsch's backroom staff. A compatriot and former team-mate of Marsch, Armas was seen as an ally for former RB Leipzig chief, who was feeling the pressure of a poor run that saw Leeds without a win since November 5.
That pressure ultimately told folllowing Sunday's drab 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest as the axe fell on Marsch's time at the club, along with several members of his backroom staff. Rene Maric, Cameron Toshack and Pierre Barrieu have all left the club, but one man missing from that list was Armas, who was brought in to replace Mark Jackson after his exit to MK Dons in December.
Armas and Michael Skubala are now the two most senior and experienced coaches at the club and are therefore set to lead the side into Wednesday night's daunting trip to Old Trafford to face bitter rivals Manchester United.
