Leeds United are set to appoint former RB Leipzig manager Jesse Marsch as their new head coach.
The American, left the German club in December last year after a five-month spell.
The 48-year-old will succeed Marcelo Bielsa, who was sacked on Sunday following a spate of dismal performance.
Leeds are currently 16th in the Premier League table, two points above the relegation zone.
Marsch who also coached New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg first joined RB Leipzig as Ralf Rangnick's assistant before being appointed at RB Salzburg in June 2019.
During his stint in Salzburg his team won league and cup double in his first season.
He was also part of the development of striker Erling Braut Haaland before the Norway striker joined Borussia Dortmund in 2019.
He returned to Leipzig in April last year, this time as head coach when he took over from Julian Nagelsmann who left to manage Bayern Munich.
