Marsch becomes first U.S. manager in Champions League history

Tuesday marked a bit of history for the United States in the UEFA Champions League, with Jesse Marsch becoming the first coach from his nation to take charge of a team in Europe's top competition.

Having won the Supporters' Shield as a manager with the New York Red Bulls in 2015, earning MLS Coach of the Year honours that same year, Marsch took over the top spot at Red Bull Salzburg after a one-season stint with RB Leipzig as an assistant coach.

So far, it has all gone swimmingly for the Wisconsin native in his first few months with the Austrian club.
