Jesse Marsch salutes 'inspiring' Celtic as Leeds boss raves about Ange Postecoglou's methods

Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch has praised Ange Postecoglou 's coaching nous which sparked his major Celtic rebuild.

The American coach previously waxed lyrical about the Premiership champions last summer amid their search for a new boss to succeed Neil Lennon. Marsch plumped for RB Leipzig but it proved a misstep before he ended up at Elland Road. But Marsch is a true believer in Postecoglou, citing his crystal clear philosophy behind his trophy-laden success in three continents. The 56-year-old landed a double in his first season in Scotland to add to titles in Australia, Japan and with the Socceroos at the 2015 Asian Cup.

Speaking ahead of Leeds' tour Down Under, he said: “I’m a big admirer of Ange. I think the work he has done here (in Australia), in Japan and then in Scotland has been really, really good. What a great first year he had with Celtic. I love seeing people challenge themselves.
