When Jesse Marsch accepted the job as Leeds United manager at the end of February, he became the third current Premier League manager to have managed RB Leipzig. The American previously worked as assistant to Ralf Rangnick - now Manchester United's interim manager - and then managed the club in his own right for the first half of this season, before leaving by mutual consent in December.
The other man to have managed the Red Bulls is Marsch's opponent in the dugout this week, Southampton's Ralph Hassenhuttl. The Austrian managed the German side for two seasons and left when it became clear he would not gain a contract extension form Red Bull's flagship club, despite taking them to Champions League qualification and a second place Bundesliga finish in his first season.
After Hassenhuttl left the club, Rangnick returned to manage for a year as Red Bull waited to appoint Julian Nagelsmann the year after. It was during that time that Marsch made his first steps into European football, moving on from New York Red Bulls to join Rangnick as his assistant. After that season, Marsch continued in the Red Bull stable as he moved to take the managerial post at sister-club, RB Salzburg.
