Leeds United's head coach Jesse Marsch prior to the English Premier League soccer match against Nottingham Forest at City Ground stadium in Nottingham, England, Feb. 5, 2023. Marsch was hired Monday, May 13, 2024, as coach of Canada's men's national team and signed to a contract through the 2026 World Cup. THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP-Rui Vieira
Marsch's hire was facilitated by "major philanthropic contributions" from the owners of the three Canadian-based MLS clubs — Vancouver Whitecaps, CF Montreal and Toronto FC — and supplemented by other private donors, according to Canada Soccer.Marsch's coaching resume includes Leeds United, RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg, New York Red Bulls and the Montreal Impact . His last job was at Leeds, which fired him in February 2023 after a year in charge.
"In the end I was looking for something that inspired me," Marsch added. "Both from a perspective and from a football perspective. … Honestly it was relatively an easy decision. Once we could see that the fit was really good then it was just a matter of 'How do we make this happen?'" Canada has been drawn in a pool with No. 1 Argentina, No. 32 Peru and No. 42 Chile at the 16-team Copa America, which runs June 20 to July 14 in the United States.
That coaching resume should help earn the respect of a Canadian team that has been at odds with its governing body and has yet to settle its ongoing labour dispute. In hiring Marsch, Blue clearly drew on lessons learned as chief sports officer at Golf Canada, athletic director at the University of California, Davis, and senior associate director of athletics at Stanford University.
