Chris Armas reflects on Leeds United experience and Man United reunion amid Jesse Marsch question

Chris Armas is confident his brief stint at Leeds United alongside his experience at Manchester United has made him 'more ready' for his next coaching opportunity. The American joined compatriot Jesse Marsh's backroom team at Elland Road in January, only for Marcelo Bielsa's successor to be sacked days later.

Armas was initially part of a three-man interim team, along with Michael Skubala and Paco Gallardo, which led the senior squad until Javi Gracia's appointment. But by March, the former Whites boss confirmed the 50-year-old was not part of his coaching setup.

Armas' short time at Leeds followed a spell working under Ralf Rangnick at Manchester United. The interim boss came under heavy criticism during his final months at Old Trafford, but Armas is adamant the two posts proved to be positives for him, despite their obvious difficulties.
