Jesse Marsch backroom staff roles explained as Leeds United coach reveals individual specialties

Leeds United's most consequential decision this season has undoubtedly been the call to replace revered manager Marcelo Bielsa with head coach Jesse Marsch. Marsch has secured one win from his opening three matches but there is hope victory over Norwich City last weekend can serve as a platform for games to come.

Bielsa's late February departure saw several behind-the-scenes members of staff also exit Elland Road. This has left Marsch with a skeleton crew of coaches and analysts at his disposal, with the likes of lead development coach Mark Jackson promoted from the U23 setup to first-team matters.

The American is unfazed by this and so far feels as though Leeds have coped: "We're cranking every day. We're probably all doing about two, three more jobs than we should be. But it's also worked, right. So yeah, I haven't had enough time to even think about how to build things out from now."
