Leeds United have confirmed that Jesse Marsch has been relieved of his duties as head coach and that the process of finding his replacement is already underway in an official club statement released on Monday afternoon.
Following the 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, Leeds have now parted ways with Marsch. The American leaves Elland Road with the club sitting just three points above bottom of the league Southampton, having last won a Premier League match back in November.
His departure follows shortly after Everton's decision to sack Frank Lampard and the Toffees' shock 1-0 win against league leaders Arsenal may well have prompted the Whites to take action. The club face Manchester United twice in the space of four days this week but Marsch will not be in the dugout for either of the games as they look to find a new head coach for the remainder of the season.
