Jesse Marsch’s Leeds backroom team is confirmed with Liverpool legend John Toshack’s son Cameron among staff
LEEDS UNITED have unveiled new boss Jesse Marsch’s backroom staff.
Former Leipzig boss Marsch, 48, penned a three-and-a-half-year deal at Elland Road on Monday.
He had his work permit accepted and has begun training with the team and coaching staff on Thursday.
The Yorkshire side have confirmed that Franz Schiemer, Cameron Toshack, Mark Jackson and Andrew Taylor will join the American former MLS star at the club until the end of the season.
Leeds are worryingly just two points above the relegation zone, with Burnley also having two games in hand.
After their 4-0 home hammering by Spurs on Saturday the beloved Bielsa was sacked the following day.
The new gaffer is said to be a disciple of current Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick after his time at Leipzig.
Marsch is a fan of the 4-2-2-2 formation, essentially a 4-4-2 with two defensive midfielders.

And there’s no reason to think Leeds won’t use that system, even if the players appear to be struggling with the experiment at Man Utd.
Under Marsch, Leeds are set to balance attacking prowess with defensive fortitude.
And he’ll need his new work force, including coach Cameron Toshack, behind him.
Cameron’s dad John Toshack had a glittering managerial career, even taking charge of Spanish giants Real Madrid TWICE.
Meanwhile, Leeds face Leicester City away on Saturday in Marsch’s first game in charge.
