Earlier this year, it was rumored New York Red Bulls head coach Jesse Marsch had jumped ship for his team's European sibling, Red Bull Salzburg. It didn't happen, and there were two very good reasons to believe it was never a realistic possibility: Marsch isn't really qualified to run a top-flight Euro club with Champions League ambitions, and Salzburg's current head coach - Oscar Garcia - is under contract until the summer of 2018.
But Marsch is working on the qualifications issue: he's enrolled in the UEFA Pro License course, which is an unusual credential for an American coach to seek, but not at all unusual for a coach hoping to one day work at a high level in Europe.
