Marsch, a Wisconsin native, might also point to underlying metrics that suggested cause for optimism at Leipzig, who had the Bundesliga's second most expected goals even if the picture was not so rosy at the other end. Whilst significant sums were invested in the likes of Andre Silva, Mohamed Simakan and Ilaix Moriba it seemed inevitable that some drop off would come from a side that finished second in Germany last season. Nagelsmann and star central defender Dayot Upamecano left for Bayern at the start of the summer whilst the Bundesliga champions snared midfielder Marcel Sabitzer on deadline day in August. Marsch may feel that the Leipzig job came at the wrong moment for him after great success in his previous managerial roles. Unfortunately, the development we were hoping for and the results needed to achieve our goals for the season have not been achieved.Ĭraving even more coverage of the world's game?

'It is a shame that things did not work out as we had hoped with this setup, and that this step has now become necessary. 'It was not easy for us to part company with Jesse Marsch, because I hold Jesse in high regard as a person and as a coach,' said Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff. Marsch's assistant Achim Beierlorzer will be in the Red Bull Arena dugout for that match with a permanent successor to be announced 'in the near future'.

However, Marsch departs with Leipzig 11th in the Bundesliga after six wins and five defeats with the club also needing to beat Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday (live on Paramount+) just to be certain of Europa League qualification. Highly regarded within the Red Bull system, the 48-year-old had previously coached New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg before moving up to the top job in the club group.

A run of three straight league defeats proved to be too much for the Leipzig hierarchy to continue to back Marsch, who had taken the vacant head coaching post in the summer after Julian Nagelsmann's move to Bayern Munich. American coach Jesse Marsch has parted ways with RB Leipzig, the Bundesliga side confirmed Sunday.
