Just one week after being fired by Leeds United, Jesse Marsch has reportedly found himself back in the Premier League.
According to The Athletic, Southampton is set to name the American coach as its new manager, bringing in the former Red Bull-system coach’s high-pressing style as it looks to avoid relegation from the Premier League. The move also comes at a time when Marsch was widely considered as one of the frontrunners for the U.S. men’s national team managerial position.
Barring a change of heart, Marsch will be the club’s third manager this season after Ralph Hasenhüttl and Nathan Jones, who became the club’s shortest-tenured coach when he was fired Sunday after just three months after winning only one of eight Premier League matches.
