News about Jesse Marsch

Canada men's national team head coach Jesse Marsch took something of a parting shot at his former American counterpart, Gregg Berhalter, for making the players feel too comfortable in their roles. Marsch, who was passed over for the USMNT job, helped lead Canada to the semifinals of the Copa America over the summer. Meanwhile, he watched as his home nation crashed out in embarrassing fashion in the group stages of the tournament they were hosting.

MIKE KEEGAN: The Canada women's football coach at the centre of a spying scandal that has rocked the Olympics has sensationally claimed that the men's side has 'a whole operation' on it. Bev Priestman, who is English, also made the astonishing allegation that 'all top 10 teams spy' in a bombshell email that emerged after her team was rumbled flying a drone above a training session of opponents New Zealand. The 38-year-old, from Consett, was banned from football for a year by FIFA along with two of her assistants after details of the espionage, which saw one member of staff arrested, last week.

Suspended Canada women's soccer coach Bev Priestman has apologized to her players amid the team's drone spying scandal. Prior to Canada's opening match in the Olympics vs. New Zealand, it was revealed that the team had used drones to spy on their opponents, with assistant coach Jasmine Mander, and 'unaccredited analyst' Joseph Lombardi initially sent home before Priestman joined them. The trio have now all been suspended by FIFA for a year from any football-related activity, and Priestman said she was 'absolutely heartbroken' for her players after the team was deducted six points at the Olympics.

Canada's women's football team has been deducted six points in the Paris Olympics football tournament after it was revealed that they were using drones to spy on their first group stage opponents, New Zealand.  In addition to the points deduction, the federation has been fined 200,000 Swiss francs for the infraction. Beyond the tournament, head coach Bev Priestman, assistant coach Jasmine Mander, and unaccredited analyst Joseph Lombardi have all been suspended from taking part in any football-related activity for one year. 

Canada Soccer CEO Kevin Blue says the federation is in the process of reviewing what appears to be a 'systemic ethical shortcoming' when it comes to the usage of drones to spy on opposing teams. Canada Soccer suspended three coaches - including head coach Bev Priestman - for their alleged attempt to gain an unfair advantage over their opening group stage opponents, New Zealand. In a press conference with international reporters, Blue says the federation is attempting to directly address the issue that he's declared 'unacceptable' and is conducting an independent review.

CONMEBOL, the South American soccer governing body accused of mismanaging the 2024 Copa America, is pointing the finger at stadium officials in Miami after 27 people were arrested and another 55 were ejected in a wildly chaotic scene at Sunday's tournament finale. 'CONMEBOL was subject to the decisions made by the Hard Rock Stadium authorities, according to the contractual responsibilities established for security operations,' the organization said in a statement on Monday after Argentina's 1-0 win over Colombia a day earlier.'

After Jurgen Klopp rejected the United States' attempts to take over the men's national team job, now comes the time for US Soccer to consider their 'Plan B' options. With the recent firing of Gregg Berhalter as manager of the USMNT, rampant speculation has begun over who will be replacing him. US Soccer technical director Matt Crocker told reporters he's looking for a 'serial winning coach' with the hopes to have a full-time replacement by the September international window.

Drake has backed his native Canada to shock Argentina in Tuesday's Copa America semifinal, with the rapper in line for a $3million payday if Jesse Marsch's side spring an upset. Canada has enjoyed a fairytale run to the last four, where defending champions Argentina await at MetLife Stadium. Lionel Messi and Co are heavy favorites to reach Sunday's final but that has not deterred Drake from backing his compatriots.

Canada and their coach, Jesse Marsch, are in dreamland tonight as they advanced to the semifinals of the Copa America in their first attempt. But their clash with Venezuela was a more tense affair than they may have hoped - with the game going down to penalties.  An early goal from Nashville SC star Jacob Shaffelburg showed Canada's quality once again, but the team just could not capitalize on the plethora of chances it generated.

Rather than basking in the defeat of the man who beat him out to the top job in US Soccer, Canada head coach Jesse Marsch revealed his disappointment with his home country's early exit from the Copa America. The USMNT looked poor in their dismissal from the tournament they were hosting as a 1-0 defeat to Uruguay sealed their departure from South America's biggest tournament. Marsch, who is set to lead Canada against Venezuela in the quarterfinals of the competition, did not show happiness in light of Gregg Berhalter's team's elimination - even though the former Leeds United manager was beaten to the job by him.

Neither of the two former US players restrained themselves in their criticism of one another on social media just two days after the USA crashed out of Copa America with a 1-0 defeat to Uruguay. And although the two retirees are former forwards, they never were teammates on the Stars and Stripes. But, they both did represent their country at separate World Cups.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said the grass was to blame for his team's underwhelming performance in the 2-0 Copa America win over Canada. The artificial turf at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of NFL team Atlanta Falcons, was changed to grass two days ago - after Atlanta United had played on the artificial turf - and Scaloni said it was why his team were leaving passes under-hit and miscontrolling the ball. After going in at halftime goalless and Canada impressing, Argentina secured victory with two goals created by Lionel Messi and scored by Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez.

JACK BEZANTS IN ATLANTA: Lionel Messi lifted the curtain on the Copa America but took his time finding center stage before Argentina beat Jesse Marsch's gritty Canada 2-0. A sublime Messi through ball in the 47th minute cracked open Canada's stubborn defense, with Julian Alvarez slotting into an empty net after Alexis Mac Allister was clattered by goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau. And after Messi missed a string of second half chances, substitute Lautaro Martinez scored with two minutes left - from a second Messi assist. But if this is the beginning of the end and Messi's 'Last Dance' at an international tournament - as the man himself expects it to be - the World Cup winners need to find another level of pace to their play, more midfield authority and erase some slack defensive passing if their star man is to sign off with a third international trophy.

In just a few days' time Argentina and Chile will kick off one of the biggest soccer festivals of the summer when they collide at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. There is not long to go now until this year's Copa America gets underway, with the United States playing hosts across eight different states ranging all the way from West to East Coast. Some of the world's top players are heading Stateside to represent their countries, including all-time Argentina great Lionel Messi - who is looking to retain the title after captaining his country to glory in 2021 - and Brazilian superstar Vinicius Jr.

Before accepting Canada's offer to become its next men's national team head coach, Jesse Marsch considered coaching a 7-on-7 side in a $1million winner-take-all tournament. That's according to his friend and (now former) podcast co-host Jimmy Conrad, who will suit up for Kwik Goal FC this week in The Soccer Tournament, a competition featuring scores of current and ex-pros across 48 teams. 'So before he left to take the Canadian job, we asked him to coach here, our team,' Conrad told reporters on Monday.

In one of the weirdest situations in global football, Canada Soccer has officially named their men's managerial position after Major League Soccer. It was announced yesterday that former Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch would be leading that Canadian men's national team. But in the press release, it was revealed that the three largest soccer clubs in the country donated significant capital to help land the American manager.

Canada Soccer has announced that former Leeds United and RB Leipzig manager Jesse Marsch will be the next coach of their men's national team. Marsch replaces John Herdman in the full-time role after he departed the national team for Toronto FC of MLS. In a video posted to their twitter account, the Canada men's team revealed that they called Marsch via FaceTime to let him know that he got the job.

Jesse Marsch could make his long-awaited return to the coaching ranks as reports indicate he is the top choice for South Korea's vacant post.  Marsch, who formerly coached Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig, has been out of coaching since being fired by Leeds United 14 months ago. Per a report from Sports Chosun in South Korea, Marsch recently completed an interview for the job in England and is the leader among the final three candidates for the position.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Jesse Marsch are on the shortlist to lead Canada into the next World Cup after Jose Mourinho and Frank Lampard both turned down the role. Canada are looking for a new manager to replace John Herdman, who resigned a the end of August to take over at Toronto FC in the MLS. Herdman's former assistant Mauro Biello has served as interim manager for the past eight months, but the Canadian FA wants a permanent manager in place ahead of the 2026 World Cup - which the country is co-hosting.

After his retirement in 2012, the former Manchester United footballer turned his attention to coaching, and he had his most fruitful season in the dugout during his time with PSV. During his ten months as boss, the Ethio giants won both the Dutch Cup and Dutch Super Star before he resigned in May after claiming that they did not have the correct infrastructure.

With a howitzer of a goal, USMNT captain Tyler Adams made his return to the starting XI for the United States after battling leg injury for more than a year. Adams was brought on as a replacement in the team's poor result against Jamaica, which culminated in a 3-1 draw. However, Bournemouth's man made his name by firing a cannon from over 30 yards out that sailed with a flawless shot into the top left corner, giving the Americans a 1-0 lead at halftime.

Tyler Adams, the US national team captain, has said he'fall[en] off a cliff during his injury-plagued year in which he was sidelined with hamstring problems. Adams underwent hamstring surgery while on Leeds last March, causing him to miss the team's last 14 games and then underwent another operation in October after making his Bournemouth debut in October. He had been out for more than a year without playing in Premier League before his replacement appearance against Luton Town last week. And Adams, who is now with the USA squad for the first time since the 2022 World Cup, has talked about his trying year, saying that his time off gave him a chance to regroup.'

Following an injury-riddled year for the midfielder in which he barely played, Jesse Marsch has questioned Tyler Adams' callback to the new USMNT squad. Adams had gone over a year without a Premier League appearance prior to his replacement appearance in Bournemouth's 4-3 victory over Luton Town on Wednesday. Since Gregg Berhalter selected Adams for the new Nations League squad, And Marsch, who worked with Adams at both Leeds and the New York Red Bulls, is uncertain if there's 'a lot to gain.'

Jesse Marsch has provided an insight into the new Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner and discussed how his teams train. Glasner was named as the team's manager only 80 minutes after the club announced that Roy Hodgson, 76, would leave the team, with the Austrian coach notifying a contract until the end of the 2025-26 season. Glasner most recently coached Eintracht Frankfurt until the end of the last season, notably guiding them to the Europa League trophy in 2022, while Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg also coached Austrian teams LASK and SV Ried.
