Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch lands new role away from Elland Road during World Cup break

Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch has found himself a new temporary role away from Elland Road during the World Cup break as a writer for The Athletic.

Marsch will be just one of many new guest writers announced by the outlet, with others like Demba Ba, Ryan Babel, Sam Mewis, Mauricio Pochettino, Juanma Lillo, Ben Mee, Clint Dempsey, Antonio Valencia, Chloe Morgan, Yaya Touré and Leah Williamson all contributing to the site over the course of the tournament.

A handful of his players have been selected to play in the tournament, including fellow Americans Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson as well as Welshman Dan James and Denmark international Rasmus Kristensen.

It appears as though Marsch has been bought on board to write about the state of play during the tournament along with various ex-players and managers.

Of course, Marsch has experience coaching at a World Cup when he was assistant manager with the USA squad at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa where they topped their group above England, Slovenia and Algeria.

The U.S' biggest game at the World Cup this year, for Marsch at least, will undoubtedly their group stage rematch with the Three Lions after their 1-1 draw back in 2010.

We will no doubt be reading his views on that over the coming days, while Leeds fans will also be keen to hear what he has to say on Leeds United and USMNT duo Tyler Adams and Brendan Aaronson, who will be a key part of the American side in Qatar.
