Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch has claimed he is ‘really excited’ to work with both Rene Maric and Michael Skubala following their appointments last week. Maric is set to join Marsch’s first team coaching staff as the club’s new assistant manager, while Skubala will take charge of the Under 21s.
Despite being only 29 years old, Maric arrives at Elland Road with an abundance of top-flight experience. He has spent time in similar roles at Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Monchengladbach and most recently Borussia Dortmund, which has already seen him become very highly rated.
Skubala, meanwhile, joins Leeds having taken a very different career pathway. He spent several years in the setup at the FA, first leading up the national team’s futsal side, before becoming the coach of England’s Under-18s side.
