Maurico Pochettino named by Leeds United supporters as possible Jesse Marsch replacement

Leeds United supporters have suggested Mauricio Pochettino and Rafa Benitez as possible replacements for Jesse Marsch after the Whites head coach was sacked by the club. The American has been relieved of his duties after defeat to Nottingham Forest at the weekend.

The Whites are in the midst of a torrid run of form, winless in the Premier League since the beginning of November. Leeds defeated Bournemouth 4-3 at Elland Road, but haven't won in the top flight since.

The Leeds hierarchy have already started the search for a new head coach. Former Leeds United assistant Carlos Corberan has been linked with a return to Elland Road.

Here's what Leeds United supporters have had to say follow Jesse Marsch's sacking:

@Andychicolee said: "Can you imagine how good we would be under Poch and actually using the width of the pitch. Settle for Carlos though without a doubt."

@whitevan_sights said: "I'm not going to gloat at a man losing his job as he seemed like a good bloke but its the right decision."

@UnitedLeeds_1 said: "Fair play to our Owners but now it depends who they appoint next and I'm sorry it had to end to this way for Marsch nice guy."

@Michelle73 tweeted: "Board left with no choice. I liked Jesse but it just wasn’t working & he’s had more than enough time to get the best out of these players. Onwards & upwards…."

@ElectricMiknik tweeted: "The right decision. Jesse is a very decent chap but just couldn’t get his ideas across to the players. He still pulled off the escape last season and we should be thankful for that, good luck to him. I’d be going for Rafa Benitez to tighten up the defence and pull things together."

@jkmcnamara said: "Gutted mate but get it - take no pleasure in this but we need the right appointment- hope Weston and Tyler still fully engaged in us."

@mirts88 said: "Really wanted it to work out for him, but this is the right decision. He was taking us down."

@AdamOzzy said: "Thanks for keeping us up, thanks for Chelsea at home and Liverpool away. Lovely bloke, just ran out of ideas. All the best, best thing for all parties."

@nosey_aintcha tweeted: "His time was up before the world cup break. Let's get someone in with an actual plan & who knows how to coach players, not just give motivational speeches. Good luck to Jesse wherever he goes next."
