Former Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch says the timing wasn't right after approaches from Southampton and Leicester City. The club parted company with Marsch following a dismal run of results but was still approached by their fellow strugglers after his sacking.
The Saints had parted company with Nathan Jones and looking for their third manager of the season with Marsch in the driving seat, but the ex-Whites boss turned them down. Weeks later Leicester City would come calling following the departure of Brendan Rodgers, but the Foxes would get the same result.
“I would say that both clubs were amazing and the people were fantastic, but the timing wasn’t right,” Marsch told The Athletic.
