Hi, I'm Grant Wall. And welcome to the Planet Football Podcast, where I go in depth with the most intriguing people in the world of soccer.

I'm on vacation right now, but we're releasing new weekly interview episodes on Thursdays while I'm gone.

In this episode I'm joined by Jesse Marsh, who recently left his job as head coach of the

New York Redbles to take an assistance job at R.B. Leipzig in Germany.

Our conversation was recorded on August 6th.

Our guest today is Jesse Marsh, who recently moved to Germany to take an assistant coaching position with R.B. Leipzig.

school infirmary together once. Jesse, thanks for joining me.
