On this week’s episode we are joined by a rarity in English football an American in the dugout. Jesse Marsch started his career in the MLS before moving into football’s Red Bull model. After spells in Salzburg and Leipzig, he moved to the Premier League, leading one of the country’s most iconic clubs in Leeds United.

Charged with saving the club from relegation after a period of decline under Marcelo Bielsa, his tenure started successfully before ending abruptly 12 months later.

Are American managers disrespected in the British game? Why did he he turn down the Southampton job? And did he ultimately deserve to be sacked? No question will be left unanswered in this week’s episode of Up Front.
