Jesse Marsch ‘waiting in the wings’ to replace Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United – Mike McGrath
Marcelo Bielsa has admitted that the Leeds United board may be starting to have doubts over his future at Elland Road.
Speaking after the 6-0 defeat against Liverpool, El Loco insisted he doesn’t need them to give him any conclusions on the performance of the team.
Mike McGrath of the Telegraph has reported that there are still big doubts and Jesse Marsch is “waiting in the wings” to take over.
Now, this is still likely for the summer.
There are no indication that it will happen after the sacking of Bielsa this season, who looks as though he will get the chance to turn things around.
Bielsa signs one-year rolling contracts each summer, and he will wait to make any decision on his future once matters on the pitch are sorted.
Marsch has been named by the Telegraph as the number one choice to take over at Elland Road, despite him speaking out and refusing to comment this week.
Time?
Every single Leeds fan loves Bielsa and everything he has achieved at Elland Road during his four-year tenure.
But, for the first time during that reign, we are really starting to see a split regarding whether he should be sacked or not.
Social media is a real battleground for Leeds fans and every single one of us are crying out desperate for three points soon.
All it could take for Bielsa to get some breathing space and everyone back on stage is three points, and if that comes against Spurs, it would be amazing.
Marsch is keeping very coy on the rumours, but it is very clear at this stage that he is ready to go should he get that call.
For now, he may be waiting a little while longer.
