Training was led by Jesse Marsch on Monday morning, at the beginning of what many inside Leeds United expected to be another week of trying to end the wait for a Premier League win. The club's hierarchy were keen to avoid any last-minute disruption of a valuable, rare training session before Wednesday night’s trip to Manchester United.
However, Angus Kinnear and Victor Orta were en route to Thorp Arch with the worst news a head coach can receive. The chief executive and director of football would meet Marsch in his office and talk over the situation before relieving him of his duties.
Meetings would follow with Rene Maric, Chris Armas, Cameron Toshack, Michael Skubala, Pierre Barrieu, Marcos Abad and Ewan Sharp, among others. It was laid bare who would be staying and who would be following Marsch out the door.
