LEEDS SET TO APPOINT MARSCH AS NEW BOSS

Leeds United are set to appoint former RB Leipzig boss, Jesse Marsch as their new head coach.

The American, who has also coached New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg, left the German club in December last year after a five-month spell.

The 48-year-old will succeed Marcelo Bielsa, who was sacked on Sunday, once a work permit is finalized.

Leeds sit 16th in the Premier League table, two points above the relegation zone, following a run of heavy defeats.
