Leeds United's now-former manager Jesse Marsch was left upset at Thorp Arch on Monday upon finding out he had been sacked by the Whites.

What's the latest?

Following another disappointing result on the weekend, the Yorkshire club decided to pull the trigger on their managerial situation and parted ways with the American.

Marsch had not even been in post for 12 months with his one-year anniversary coming up towards the end of the month having succeeded Marcelo Bielsa last season.

It is already thought the Whites are looking to make their next appointment with Carlos Corberan believed to be one of the men near the top of their list.

And speaking on the Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast, BBC man Adam Pope has provided behind-the-scenes insight of how the decision went down at Thorp Arch:

"As I understand it, you know, Jesse upset at the training ground, has been told the news by Victor Orta and obviously chief executive Angus Kinnear, who effectively run the club.

"And him and his immediate backroom staff - bar Chris Armas, who's just come in - so Pierre Barrieu on the fitness side; Cameron Toshack who arrived, if you remember, with him at the beginning; and Rene Maric have all gone along with Jesse."

Marsch left gutted

There will likely be few people who would have any frustrations with Marsch's personality with the American showing a lot of passion from the sidelines.

He has been in bother with the officials on a few occasions in the little under 12 months he has experienced in the Premier League.

However, there can be no grumbles over the decision with the way the results have been heading this season despite the investment over the last two transfer windows.

The Yorkshire club have spent around £130m this season and it is apparent that a lot of the players who have been brought in have been signed specifically for Marsch.

But given they sit just outside of the relegation zone only on goal difference, it feels like Victor Orta and Andrea Radrizzani were left with no other choice but to let him go.

And now the players who have been brought in - likely to work under Marsch - will have to quickly adapt to whoever they are able to bring in through the doors.

This is probably not what the likes of Weston McKennie had in mind when putting pen to paper on their deals to join Leeds.

However, the players are in no position to dwell on what has happened with two huge games against Manchester United coming up this week.
