Leeds United fans always knew Jesse Marsch had a bit of a temper when he was at Elland Road.

Although he didn’t have a successful tenure at Leeds, Marsch certainly got his voice out there.

The American coach was never far away from controversy making his feelings clear on decisions that took place.

Previously Marsch has raged at Frank Lampard’s time-wasting as it’s clear the former Whites boss is more on the respect side of the game.

Well, it seems like his temper has got the better of him again after what happened when Canada met USA.

Former Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch in complete headloss

As mentioned it won’t come as a surprise to Leeds fans that Marsch is in outrage.

Now managing Canada, Marsch faced Mauricio Pochettino’s USA side, following on from former Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen upsetting the US.

Well with former Leeds players Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie involved again, Marsch showed fury at a decision that went against his Canada side.

Jonathan David was through on goal when Maximilian Arfsten seemingly took out the striker in the box, leaving the Canada boss absolutely fuming, as Marsch confronted Pochettino’s backroom staff over the decision not to award a penalty.

This ultimately lead to referee Katia Garcia Mendoza giving Marsch a red card in the 56th minute.

However, Marsch had the last laugh over his former players Adams and McKennie, as the Canadians prevailed over Pochettino’s side with a 2-1 win.

How Marsch almost signed David at Leeds after controversy

With David involved in this controversy with Marsch, the two could’ve ended up crossing paths before their time at Canada.

It seems an unlikely scenario now with the Lille striker no doubt one of Europe’s best, but this could’ve become a reality at Elland Road.

Marsch tried to get David at Leeds, but of course, a deal never worked out, in what would’ve been some remarkable business by the former Whites manager.

Who knows, if David did arrive in Leeds, we might still be seeing Marsch in charge of the Yorkshire-based side.
