Jesse Marsch was waved by the Yorkshire side on February 6. He's now close to taking charge of Southampton only a few days before the two teams meet in the Premier League
Jesse Marsch is on the verge of becoming the new Southampton manager a week after being sacked by Leeds.
Marsch left Leeds with the club only above the relegation zone on goal difference following a seven-game winless run in the league.
According to Sky Sports, Marsch is keen on a return to management and is excited by the Southampton project, despite the club sitting bottom of the Premier League, four points from safety.
Saints dismissed Nathan Jones on Sunday with him having only taken over from Ralph Hasenhuttl in November, shortly before the league paused for the Qatar World Cup.
The Southampton board see Marsch as someone "with positive energy that can be injected into the group". He brings recent Premier League experience and was also a big factor in Leeds avoiding the drop last season.
After Southampton play Chelsea, their next game is away at Leeds on Saturday February 25. What a return for Marsch to Elland Road that would be.
