Leeds United confirm Jesse Marsch's backroom staff as U23s coach given promotion

Leeds United have confirmed the members of Jesse Marsch's backroom team and their respective roles until the end of the season.

Marsch is set to host his first press conference as the Whites' head coach this afternoon and has this morning led an open training session for visiting media.

The new head coach will be assisted by Cameron Toshack, formerly of Swansea City U23s and Pafos FC in Cyprus, who brings a wealth of academy and first-team experience.

Lead development coach Mark Jackson has been promoted to first-team matters having managed the U23 side over the past two seasons.

Standing in for Jackson at U23 level will be loan manager Andrew Taylor, formerly of Cardiff City and Middlesbrough during his playing career.

Taylor had been part of the first-team coaching setup at Sunderland before joining the Whites last year.

Former Red Bull Salzburg assistant Franz Schiemer also joins Marsch at Thorp Arch. He has worked with the American previously and is another exponent of the Red Bull sporting model, as well as a former Austrian international.

Leeds state these positions are confirmed until the end of the season.

Marsch is set to speak to the assembled media at Thorp Arch this afternoon, where he is expected to answer on various topics including his immediate task in retaining Leeds' Premier League status, as well as the injuries to key first-team players.
