Jesse Marsch's Leeds future is in MAJOR doubt after Nottingham Forest defeat

Jesse Marsch’s future at Leeds is in MAJOR doubt after defeat at Nottingham Forest left his side without a league win since early November – with club chiefs considering a change while the faith in Americans has weakened.

  • Leeds have taken just 11 points from the last 51 on offer in the Premier League
  • Senior figures at the club are considering a change in manager at present
  • Jesse Marsch is under huge pressure with the side locked in a relegation battle

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch’s future at the club is in major doubt following Sunday’s defeat at Nottingham Forest.

The club’s ownership is losing faith in the American, with senior figures at Elland Road considering making a change.

There are members of the club’s top brass who believe Marsch should stay, such as sporting director Victor Orta.

However, Marsch now faces an uphill battle to keep his job.

Leeds are hovering above the relegation zone following a dismal run of seven Premier League matches without a win which has seen them, alas, just three points from 21.

Marsch’s position has been under scrutiny from the top of the club for some time.

But Leeds are sticking with the American, who is strongly supported by Orta.

The recent appointment of coach Chris Armas to Marsch’s coaching team was seen as a show of support for the embattled boss.

However, concerns behind the scenes remained.

Sources have also indicated that there is some internal tension over the club’s recruitment strategy during the January window.
