Marsch's Take on Player Accountability at Leeds and Canada

Jesse Marsch once challenged his Leeds United players, questioning their accountability for numerous coaching changes at the club. He noted that in professional football, managers often bear the brunt of blame when results falter. Players, he argued, must also take ownership. Marsch contrasted this by recalling his own 14-year playing career, where he never had a coach fired and won titles, highlighting his commitment to team success. He believes a coach's value extends beyond wins and losses, focusing on creating a robust team culture. Now with the Canadian national team, Marsch aims to empower his squad to embrace their talent and shed any 'apologetic' tendencies. He seeks to instill a winning mentality and self-belief across their training, play, and overall approach. JesseMarsch LeedsUnited CanadianNationalTeam Football
