A week after being sacked by Leeds, Jesse Marsch is about to take over as Southampton manager, according to Sky Sports.
Jesse Marsch left Leeds almost in the relegation zone after failing to win a game since November.
Marsch is enthusiastic about the Southampton project and is eager to return to management, despite the fact that the team is currently bottom of the Premier League and four points from relegation.
Nathan Jones was fired by the Saints on Sunday. The former Luton manager had only replaced Ralph Hasenhuttl in November, just before the league was halted for the World Cup in Qatar.
Although some details of the deal still need to be ironed out, it is possible Marsch could be signed ahead of Southampton’s weekend trip to Chelsea if negotiations go well.
