Leeds United had long been eyeing Jesse Marsch but talks were held with alternative options.
Victor Orta has confirmed that Leeds United held talks with Paulo Fonseca over the vacant manager’s job after sacking Marcelo Bielsa in February 2022. Bielsa left Leeds in heart-breaking fashion after taking just one point from his final six games, with an injury-ravaged squad on the end of some heavy defeats. Then-owner Andrea Radrizzani admitted it was the toughest decision he’d made in West Yorkshire and American Jesse Marsch was quickly brought in to replace the much-loved Argentinian.
This is the thing, to try to create a model of decision that’s fairer for the coaches, fairer for the clubs, and with more information, it will be really useful.” Get a personalised Leeds United news round-up, as well as breaking news, when you sign up for our free Leeds United newsletter email. Fonseca was available at the time, having left Serie A outfit Roma in May 2021.
