    another reason why he's better off not being the coach for those disappointed is that anyway you look at it, the whole RB project is Rangnicks. He's the brains and the real boss. During the 2017-2018 season Hassenhuttl was basically butting heads with Rangnick and basically left as he had "a vote of no confidence." and was not offered any extension.

    Will Jesse Marsch's move to Europe stop the jokes about US coaches?

    https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ork-red-bulls-rb-leipzig-mls?CMP=share_btn_tw

    American coaches are still the subject of derision in European soccer circles. Bob Bradley, for instance, is still a caricature, quite literally, in England - Sky Sports’ Soccer AM show still runs a regular segment called Brad Bobley’s Soccer Camp, featuring a bald American talking cartoonishly about “soccerball” and “midfield stripes.”

    And we still associate a tall skinny servant named Jeeves with English employment. Jesse is approaching this in a very workman-like way. Not riding the coattails of success in MLS, but coming to learn and work his way to who knows where. But coming in humble. He's got style.

    Marsch's career as an assistant got underway as RB Leipzig beat BK Hacken of Sweden 5-1 on aggregate in the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round.

    They face Universitatea Craiova of Romania in the third qualifying round.

    Leipzig drew Craiova 1-1 to advance to the Europa League playoff round and have been drawn to face Zorya Luhansk of Ukraine.

    Leipzig defeated Viktoria Koln 3-1 today in the DFB Pokal.

    Quick interview with Jesse today on Fox. Sounds like he plans to stay in Europe for the foreseeable future.

    So how does an assistant coach get promoted from the academy page?

    They wouldn’t even let BB out of here when he was a head coach at Le Havre and Swansea.

    Jesse is here for the duration.

    A little deflating for the youth players to know coaching them is punishment

    Not that I have any real sense of what Marsch's role in this is yet, but it seems worth mentioning that RB Leipzig now sit 2nd in the table (with goal differential separating them from 3 other teams tied on points).

    Yeah, I was thinking that too. They started the season pretty poorly, and I was worried Marsch's Euro adventure might be a really short one, but now they're right up there in the Bundesliga and rebounded in Europa league after that embarrassing loss to their little brother.

    With a 3-0 win over Leverkusen, Leipzig have overtaken Bayern and now sit in 3rd with 22 points. Hard to know how much credit to give Marsch but I'm sure he deserves some

    From a Leipzig supporter on what Marsch does/contributes:

    Since I'm at training sometimes, I can attest to it.

    He definitely brings with him the "American dream", that is motivation.
    He knows German well, at least what I hear, but the cheering comes from him all in English.

    On the training ground, he shares the work 1: 1 with Klauß, when small training is (ie after a game) and RR is more in the building

    During full training that looks different (but I have only been there for that 3 times), since Ralf R. has the pants on. Well, the two Klauß and Marsch are also allowed to lead units, but Rangnick steps in, if something does not suit him.

    I see Marsch on an equal footing with Klauss and he's learning here but shares his American experience.

    On the bench Klauß has the plug in the ear with the connection to the video assistant, so there march is more of the general assistant coach.

    Will be exciting what will happen at the end of the season when Nagelsmann comes and what will happen with Klauß and Marsch and which positions they will get.

    We aren't the first day here on Yanks Abroad. We know everything better than you.
    Marsch is by far the most talented and productive coach on the team. He improved RB a lot. Unfortunately other coaches ignore him because he is American. The head coach is dumb and interrupts Marsch' practices, and another assistant is jealous and doesn't pass him earplugs. Jesse should move either to Barca or Inter. Their scouts are coming to RB games to watch him. But if Marsch doesn't move he obviously sucks, he always has been tactically naive, and the real coach is Chris Armas who should move to Barca or Inter, of course.

    RB Leipzig defeated Werder Bremen by a 3-2 scoreline today. They will finish the first half of the Bundesliga campaign in 4th place with a 9-4-4 record and have advanced to the Round of 16 in the DFB Pokal.

    The one disappointment is crashing out of Europa League with a 2-1-3 record behind RB Salzburg and Celtic.

    Interview:

    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/18/sports/jesse-marsch-rb-leipzig.html

    These days, Marsch takes German language lessons three times a week and uses the language in coaches meetings and with players on the field. While he has improved, he said, the process also has made look, at times, “like a fool.”

    But those minor indignities, he noted, could serve as positives within a team context.

    “I think it’s an important lesson in an leadership position to show that you’re willing to be vulnerable, you’re willing to make mistakes, and that’s how I’m going to get better,” he said. “I think that’s the same thing we want to portray to our players: ‘We all mistakes. You’re going to make mistakes. But let’s all learn from them. Let’s get better together.’”

    I like that move for him. I was getting curious about his fate given Nagelsmann's impending arrival.
