Trinity are leaving in the Summer not sure how much I believe that.

New head coach confirmed.
Leeds United can today announce the appointment of Jesse Marsch as the
club’s new head coach, pending international clearance.
The 48-year-old has signed a deal at Elland Road running until June 2025
and his first game in charge will be Saturday’s Premier League trip at
Leicester City.
Marsch, a former USA international midfielder, previously played for
D.C. United, Chicago Fire and Chivas USA in the MLS.
Following his retirement from playing, he became an assistant with the
USA national team, before being named as the first head coach of
Montreal Impact in 2012.
Three years later, he was named New York Red Bulls boss and led them to
the MLS Supporters’ Shield and was also named the 2015 MLS Coach of the
Year.
In 2018, he left New York Red Bulls as the coach with the most wins in
the club’s history, joining German Bundesliga side RB Leipzig as
assistant to Ralf Rangnick.
Ahead of the 2019/20 season he was named head coach of sister club Red
Bull Salzburg and went on to have great success, winning both the
Austrian Bundesliga and Austrian Cup in consecutive seasons.
This led to him returning to RB Leipzig as head coach last summer, which
was his most recent position, prior to parting ways in December.
He will now be looking to guide Leeds United away from the Premier
League relegation places over the final 12 games of the campaign.
Speaking about the appointment, Leeds United Director of Football Victor
Orta said: “We are delighted to welcome Jesse to the club and excited
for him to lead us into this new chapter.
“Jesse is someone we identified a number of years ago during his time at
Red Bull Salzburg and we believe his philosophy and style of football
aligns with that of the club and will suit the players very well.
“We have a long-term plan and firmly believe he can take Leeds United to
the next level and are excited for what the future holds.”
Chief Executive Angus Kinnear added: “We are really pleased to have
quickly secured the services of our first-choice head coach.
“Whilst the short-term objective for Jesse is obvious, we believe he has
the courage and ambition to build on the strong foundations we have
created over the last four years and elevate the performance of the club
over the long-term. He had a great deal of success with New York Red
Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg and has demonstrated during our many
meetings that he is a great fit with the footballing culture of Leeds
United.
“At this challenging time, it is important that the club remains united
from top to bottom. The fans have been amazing throughout Andrea’s
tenure and we have no doubt they will unite behind Jesse and ensure the
team quickly returns to winning with style.”
