Jesse Marsch bolsters his backroom staff with former Manchester United No 2 Chris Armas joining as his new assistant - with the Leeds manager hailing fellow American as a 'fantastic addition' at Elland Road

Leeds have confirmed the appointment of former Manchester United coach Chris Armas.

Sportsmail exclusively revealed last week that Leeds were closing in on Armas after they lost coach Mark Jackson to MK Dons earlier this season and have been on the look out for a new assistant coach ever since.

Jesse Marsch now has his man as Armas joins the backroom team, subject to securing a work permit.
