Next Leeds United manager: Jesse Marsch replaces Marcelo Bielsa

Former RB Leipzig boss Jesse Marsch has been appointed as the new manager of Leeds, who are 13-8 to be relegated from the Premier League this season.

American Marsch, who has also previously been in charge of Red Bull-backed outfits New York and Salzburg, replaces Marcelo Bielsa in the dugout and inherits a Leeds team who are in the midst of a relegation battle.

Bielsa was dismissed after a 4-0 loss to Tottenham - the club's fourth straight defeat - and they are 16-1 with bet365 to lose their first three matches under Marsch.

Bet365 have opened a market on how many points the club will pick up from their next three matches with Leicester, Aston Villa and Norwich with nine points also priced at 16-1.

Between one and three points is 6-4, between four and six points is evens and seven points is 7-1.

A leaky defence has been central to the recent demise of Leeds, who have shipped 17 goals in their last four matches and they are 6/1 with the same firm to concede 90 or more goals in 2021-22 which would be a Premier League record.
