Jesse Marsch has had a lot to say about his sacking from Leeds United in recent weeks.The American spoke candidly about his departure from Elland Road on Simon Jordan’s podcast earlier this month, claiming he felt it was unfair given the underlying statistics..Speaking on Call it What You Want, Marsch spoke again about the Leeds sacking,
pointing the finger at Keylor Navas as the player who helped get him sacked.Indeed, as many will remember, Marsch’s last game for Leeds was against Nottingham Forest, where Navas was on loan, and he says the Costa Rican’s incredible performance that day led to his sacking.
.The manager was talking about a 37-year-old man.”The latest rumor is that Forest are looking at Keylor Navas, he was there last time,
he wasn’t too good,” said the presenter.”He finished coaching me at Leeds in the Premier League, he was blind, his best game in years, best game in years when we lost 1-0, I’m sure we should have won that game. We beat them by 10 in the first half: 1 and he made three ridiculous saves, Forest should not even be in the match, Marsch said..A win against Forest would have lifted Leeds to 13th in the Premier League,
which probably meant Marsch’s job would have been secure at the time, but as the American says, Navas was in top form that day.Sometimes you can’t beat incredible goalkeeping and unfortunately for Marsch, this was the final nail in Leeds’ coffin.Of course, that wasn’t the only reason he was sacked – six months of poor form certainly didn’t help, but saving crucial games did..
