Leeds United set to appoint ex-Swansea City coach Cameron Toshack as Jesse Marsch's assistant

Former Swansea City youth coach Cameron Toshack is set to land a plum role with Leeds United.

The Welshman was a pivotal figure in the Swans' academy and led the club's Under-23s to a stunning league and cup double during the 2016/17 campaign.

He made the bold step to join Pafos in 2019 and left the Cypriot club the following year after steering them clear of relegation, turning the minnows into European contenders in the process.

And it is being reported that Cameron - son of Welsh football legend John Toshack - will be assistant boss to Jesse Marsch at Elland Road.

It comes after the Whites parted company with Marcelo Bielsa following their 4-0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Toshack played a pivotal role in developing the likes of Joe Rodon, Daniel James, Oli McBurnie and Connor Roberts during his time with the Swans.

Former USA international midfielder Marsch has put pen to paper on a deal that runs through until 2025 with Leeds.

Leeds United director of football Victor Orta said: “We are delighted to welcome Jesse to the club and excited for him to lead us into this new chapter.

“Jesse is someone we identified a number of years ago during his time at Red Bull Salzburg and we believe his philosophy and style of football aligns with that of the club and will suit the players very well.

“We have a long-term plan and firmly believe he can take Leeds United to the next level and are excited for what the future holds.”
