Leeds United have sacked Jesse Marsch as their manager after one year in charge.
Marsch has been fired with the club sitting above the relegation zone on goal difference.
The 49-year-old was appointed as the successor to Marcelo Bielsa in February 2022 and helped preserve the club’s Premier League status, which was secured with a dramatic final day win at Brentford in May.
Marsch then oversaw more than £140m of spending across the summer and January transfer windows, but Leeds find themselves at the wrong end of the table in 17th place.
The American’s final game in charge was the 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, which extended their winless run in the Premier League to seven matches.
Leeds also confirmed coaches Rene Maric, Cameron Toshack and Pierre Barrieu have also left the club.
“We would like to thank Jesse and his backroom staff for their efforts and wish them well for the future,” Leeds said in a statement.
“The process of appointing a new head coach is under way and we will continue to keep supporters up to date throughout the coming days.”
