Leeds United confirmed the appointments of two new faces to Jesse Marsch’s backroom staff prior to Thursday’s 4-0 win over Blackpool in pre-season. Pierre Barrieu has joined the club as a fitness coach, while Ewan Sharp has been named as Marsch’s new assistant coach after leaving his role at another Premier League club earlier in the summer.
Frankie Schiemer has now left his role as assistant manager but the club have said he will continue working as a coaching consultant from afar. Mark Jackson and Cameron Toshack will continue in their current positions under Marsch, while the club are still in the process of appointing a new U21s manager after Andrew Taylor returned to his original role as loan manager at the end of the season.
So with Marsch having now got his desired coaching team behind him, here is a more in-depth look at what the two new faces will bring to the club.
