Leicester City have turned to former Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch as the man to save their season in their battle to stay in the Premier League.
The Foxes are hoping the American can repeat his Elland Road rescue act where he took over from Marcelo Bielsa and kept Leeds in the top flight against all the odds. Since sacking Brendan Rodgers Leicester have spoken to a few candidates but Marsch’s energy and ideas has seen him emerge as the number one target.
Marsch turned down an approach from Southampton to replace Nathan Jones in February because the Saints were only prepared to offer him a deal until the end of the season. It’s understood that Leicester and Marsch have agreed a contact for the rest of the current campaign plus another three years.
