American coach Marsch to take over at German team Leipzig

LEIPZIG, Germany (AP) — American coach Jesse Marsch will take over at German soccer team Leipzig next season. The Bundesliga club says Marsch will switch from sister club Red Bull Salzburg on a two-year contract until June 2023. Marsch will take over from Julian Nagelsmann at Leipzig. Nagelsmann has agreed to replace Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich. Flick is expected to coach the German national team after Joachim Löw steps down following this year’s European Championship. Marsch helped Salzburg win the Austrian league and cup double last season and could repeat the feat this year. Leipzig is in second place in the Bundesliga and virtually assured of playing the Champions League next season.
