Marsch listens and is really there for us - Simakan

Jesse Marsch gives off a "good vibe", according to Mohamed Simakan, who says the RB Leipzig coach "is really there" for the whole squad and has a "lot of drive".

Marsch was drafted in to replace Julian Nagelsmann in the Leipzig hot seat at the end of the 2020-21 season, with the German taking up a new opportunity at Bayern Munich after two impressive years at Red Bull Arena.

Nagelsmann turned Leipzig into Bundesliga title contenders and Champions League semi-finalists, leaving Marsch with big shoes to fill, but Simakan has been impressed with what he's seen from the American so far.

Marsch earned the top job at Red Bull Arena after guiding their sister club Salzburg to back-to-back Austrian Bundesliga crowns, and Simakan says he has already made a mark on his new squad due to his excellent man-management skills.

The French defender, who joined Leipzig from Strasbourg in the summer, told Goal :  "He is a coach with a lot of drive, who is there for his players and who helps us a lot to perform.
