Jesse Marsch will be given more time to try and end Leeds’ alarming slide towards the drop zone.
Marsch has presided over a run of just two points from seven games to leave Leeds hovering just above the relegation places ahead of Sunday’s clash with Fulham at Elland Road. Leeds’ travelling fans turned on him after Thursday’s lame defeat at Leicester and many have lost faith in him.
But chairman Andrea Radrizzani and his board believe Marsch can still turn Leeds’ fortunes around. They are prepared to give him longer because he saved the club from relegation when he replaced Marcelo Bielsa in February and feel the team are playing better than results suggest.
