Jesse Marsch believes the hierarchy at Leeds United are still “very supportive” of him amid their run of eight games without a win.
A portion of Leeds United’s supporters have been calling for Marsch to be sacked as they have slipped into the relegation zone in the Premier League.
Next up for Leeds is a trip to Anfield on Saturday to face Liverpool having not won a game in eight in the league.
Marsch said: “They (the board) have been very supportive. I’ve spoken with Angus (Kinnear, chief executive), Andrea (Radrizzani, chairman) and Victor (Orta, director of football) multiple times.
“We’ve done a few things, we’re modifying our World Cup schedule to think about how we can maximise what we need in the moment, everything from matches to where we are travelling for training.

“They all recognise we’re not in a situation we want to be in. Of course, some of them want me out.
“Some people just want to see us find a way to turn the corner because they can see that the performances are not bad.
“It’s normal. Whether it’s with the board or whether it’s with the team, we have to find a way to start getting results or the questions come more and more in my direction.”
Few Whites fans will be optimistic of a first win since August at Anfield on Saturday evening, and a daunting challenge could be even harder given five players are in a race to be fit.
