Ex-Leeds midfielder Klich slams Marsch: He messed with the squad

Former Leeds United star Mateusz Klich has slammed ex-boss Jesse Marsch.

The American coach, who was fired earlier this term, reduced Klich's game time and eventually let him leave for DC United in MLS.

Klich, who had been at the club since 2017, was not happy about how he departed Leeds.

He told WP SportoweFakty: I wanted to finish my contract at Leeds and leave in one and a half years.

"Before the season, I knew that I would not be a starting player and I would be coming from the bench. I had a loan offer from the Netherlands, but I decided that it was okay.

"I agreed to the role and was curious myself how I would handle it. I like to play football and I want to do it as often as possible.

For the first few games it still looked good, I felt OK. After that, we started to play very poorly and I think I should have had a few chances from the first minute of the game. However, I didn't get any, which I was angry about.

I saw that the coach was messing with the squad, throwing other players in different positions, and not taking me into account at all, although, for example, in the previous match I played well. Eventually, I started to get nervous. It was pure ambition."
