Victor Orta and Jesse Marsch's first words after René Marić appointed Leeds United assistant manager

Leeds United have appointed the 'perfect fit' for their assistant coach according to Jesse Marsch as the Whites unveiled René Marić this afternoon, subject to a work permit. The 29-year-old has had spells at RB Salzburg, Borussia Monchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund alongside former BVB boss Marco Rose.

Maric helped guide Dortmund to second place in the Bundesliga before departing the club earlier this summer. He's now set to join Marsch’s backroom staff alongside Ewan Sharp, Mark Jackson and Cameron Toshack.

Marsch said: “I’ve known René for a number of years and we’ve stayed in contact for a long time now. While we haven’t worked together before, we do know each other well and I believe he is the perfect fit for an assistant head coach.
