The search for Leeds United’s next head coach is well underway following Monday’s departure of American Jesse Marsch. The 49-year-old was given his marching orders following the club’s 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, which continued the Whites' search for a first Premier League victory since November 5.
But the fires of hope are far from extinguished. Wednesday’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United proves that there is still life left in the squad and hopefully has made Leeds a more attractive move for prospective managers. With more than a couple of names thrown in the ring, supporters have had their say on the club’s management options in a LeedsLive poll.
Unsurprisingly, the majority of fans were happy with Jesse Marsch’s departure, with nearly 80% of the more than 5,000 respondents approving. However, nearly half of those responses argued that the Whites should have shown the manager out door far earlier. It’s tough to argue against them after the Whites’ winless start to 2023, excluding the FA Cup.
