Ex-Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch 'on Celtic radar' as Whites handed competition for target

Jesse Marsch is one of the names being considered by Celtic should Ange Postecoglou opt to leave the Scottish champions this summer, according to Sky Sports. Postecoglou has been reportedly given permission to speak to Tottenham Hotspur regarding the vacant manager position in north London and it is claimed Celtic have already started considering their options.

Ex-Leeds United manager Marsch is said to be one of those options, with Brenden Rodgers, who has been linked with the job at Elland Road, also in their thoughts. Despite being linked with a number of clubs over the last few months, including Leicester City and Southampton, Marsch has been out of work since being sacked by the Whites following Leeds’ loss to Nottingham Forest in February.

The American spent just under a year in West Yorkshire and he managed to save the club from Premier League relegation inside his first few months in the job. But, he struggled to build on that positive momentum and after securing just four Premier League wins this season, he parted ways with the club, to be replaced by Javi Gracia.
