Leeds United look set to unveil a new head coach at Elland Road, with American Jesse Marsch the favourite to replace Marcelo Bielsa.
The 66-year-old bid farewell to Leeds supporters at the club's training ground yesterday evening, emerging to sign shirts, photographs and pose for pictures with the tearful, impromptu mob that had gathered at Thorp Arch.
The task which Marsch is expected to undertake this week is a considerable one, revamping a jaded but loyal squad to the previous man in charge and his principles of play.
