‘Lost his nerve’ – Jesse Marsch blames Leeds man for his Elland Road exit

Posted by

The former Leeds manager has blamed Andrea Radrizzani for his early exit from Elland Road last season.

After one year in the job, Jesse Marsch was sacked from his manager position at Leeds United in February of this year.

The club were struggling to keep their head above water in the Premier League with a loss against Nottingham Forest the breaking point for the American’s position at the club.

Javi Garcia took over the mantle after him before Sam Allardyce was appointed to save them from relegation with just a handful of games left.

But Leeds were unable to lift themselves out of the relegation zone as they are now fighting it out for promotion in the Championship.

Speaking to the Mail, Marsch claimed former Leeds chief Radrizzani had ‘lost his nerve’.

“We were a couple results away from really getting everything moving.” He said.

“I believe everything was already moving the right direction. But in the end, the owner just lost his nerve. And he paid the price for it.”

Daniel Farke is currently in charge of the club now as they sit in third place in the Championship.

  1. Although Radrizanni did lose the plot at Leeds, Jesse, like so many Americans is suffering from delusions that he is somehow great because he’s American when in fact the opposite is true.

  2. It was never going to work, Americans have NO IDEA about Football (soccer) in this country, I said from day one that he would end up costing us dear, but for him to claim therwise! he is either stupid or deluded! perhaps both.
    Not sure he would survive lower leagues.

  3. ‘A couple of results away …’. How many owners have heard that before? Radz may have lost his nerve, but I think it was more likely hearing ‘A couple of results away …’ daily for a year or so.

  4. I agree Raz lost the plot and hired Jessi. The only reason Jessi got the job was- Raz was chasing American owners and used him as bait!
