Leeds United supporters have not held back with their views with former head coach Jesse Marsch reportedly closing in on a move to Leicester City. The Whites' relegation rivals parted company with manager Brendan Rodgers last week and the American head coach is closing in on a return to management.
According to the Telegraph, the Foxes have offered Marsch a three-year-deal, plus the end of the season in an attempt to lure him to the King Power Stadium. Marsch was linked with a move to Southampton following his departure from Leeds, but reportedly turned down a move.
A report claims Marsch has held talks with club officials on Thursday and is now on the verge of making his return to the technical area. The American kept Leeds up on the final day of last season with a win over Brentford but was sacked following a terrible run of results.
