Jesse Marsch insists he is used to being thrown in the deep end after taking on the job at Leeds United.

The American has guided Leeds to six points clear of the drop zone after replacing Marcelo Bielsa at the start of March.

"When I stepped foot into Princeton, I was surrounded by people who had been to boarding schools and high-level high schools and I barely knew how to write a paper," Marsch tells BBC Radio Leeds' Adam Pope.

"I barely knew how to discuss a topic in a course. I was a good student, but I wasn't exposed to the level of education that most of the other people there were.

"I had to work too. My parents had to take out loans, I had loans and I finished off paying loans 15 years after university. You're thrown in the deep end in all these situations and I guess I'm used to that again.

"This doesn't faze me. Even coming here, maybe you could say, 'OK, you come to Leeds United, you're following a great manager, you're in a relegation fight, you're thrown in the deep end', but OK, let's go. I don't really look at it as being fearful or having things to be afraid of."
