The Lowdown: Toshack profiled

Toshack likes to play a 4-2-3-1 system, with Dan James hailing the new Leeds man for playing a ‘big part’ in his development at Swansea.

The Latest: Toshack joins

Training Ground Guru shared a story on Wednesday morning, revealing Toshack has new been appointed under Marsch ahead of his first game in charge against Leicester City on Saturday.

Four of Marcelo Bielsa’s assistants left when he was sacked on Sunday, with Graham Smyth claiming Toshack’s arrival at Thorp Arch has ‘caught a few by surprise’.

The Verdict: Shrewd move?

Toshack has never worked under Marsch before, but you’d expect the American would’ve had a major say in the Welshman’s arrival.

You can see why Marsch wanted Toshack, though, especially after he worked wonders in Swansea City’s academy.

The likes of James, Oli McBurnie, Conor Roberts and Joe Rodon all made the step up to senior level with Wales under Toshack in the academy, and with Leeds and Marsch happy to give youngsters a chance, his appointment could be a wise move.
