In his first season, he did lead Leeds to Premier League safety, but the Peacocks' poor play in the 2022–2023 season ultimately resulted in their relegation.
His tenure at the Yorkshire club is therefore not remembered with nostalgia. Many people question what would have happened, though, if his main targets had been included. Taiwo Awoniyi, who left Leeds to help Nottingham Forest qualify for Europe, was rumoured to be someone Marsch wanted to sign last year. Jonathan David is another former target who has achieved success in his career. After a fantastic few years at Lille, the striker joined Juventus on a free transfer and has now officially confirmed his arrival. The Canadian international helped his team win the Ligue 1 championship when he was in France, scoring 109 goals in 232 games.
