Jesse Marsch has paid tribute to his staff, family and friends for helping during the tough time at Leeds United. The Whites boss is adamant he's the man to turn the Whites' fortunes around, but they're in the midst of an eight game winless run and with Liverpool up next, it doesn't look good for the American.
"I mean, I have people close to me, you know, I have family, I have friends, you know, but my staff is a big source also," Marsch said when asked about who he turns to in his time of need.
"But the biggest thing are my experiences, when I have been through hard times, when I've had successes, when I found ways when it's been difficult to turn it, It's been about work and it's been about the concentration of the gravity and clarity of what the work is.
"And so, that's I think the most important thing for a manager, obviously in there is the ability to challenge the players to invest in the players continually. In the end, it's the players who are going to help get us out of this, their clarity and their psychology is the most important thing."

The Whites boss has admitted it's the toughest spell of both his managerial and playing career, but insists he can cope with the pressure. "We know Leeds United is a big club," he added.
"I've learned that first hand. I knew that before I came, but I've learned so much more since living here and being part of this.
"It means that the intensity of the focus from the outside gets magnified. But it means that internally we have to be even stronger. Right, it's not a club that's for people that can't handle this business at its highest.
"And so, I think, that we know that internally and that whether that's again the players, the staff or the the board, we've stayed true to the plan that we've had and to the belief that we have had and we need it right now. We need it."
