Marsch, 47, has done an incredible job at the New York Red Bulls and now RB Salzburg as his evolution within the Red Bull family of clubs has been quite remarkable.
His success with Salzburg, winning the league and cup last season as well as coming close to reaching the UEFA Champions League last 16 this season, has Marsch on the radars of clubs across Europe’s top five leagues.
Many believe he will be the next man in charge at RB Leipzig (he was previously there as an assistant coach) when Julian Nagelsmann leaves, but his comments when asked about links to the Celtic job suggest otherwise.
“I’ve heard [about the links]. It’s an honor for me,” Jesse Marsch told BBC Sport. “Three or four years ago, being linked with a club like Celtic would literally be an impossibility for me. And now that this is where I am, I always just try to look at it in terms of, ‘what would the project look like?’
“Would we have similar ideas in how to build it the right way, invest in the academy, invest in young players and create this development process that I’m talking about? And not just focus on winning. Obviously I know that when you’re the coach of Celtic, winning is the most important thing.”
Marsch also recalled how the Red Bull group has a special link with Celtic and he took his most recent coaching badges in Scotland over a two-year period.
“When I spent the two years in the course there I really got the sense as to what an important club Celtic is to the people inside Scotland and what it means to the people of Glasgow,” Marsch said. “For me my full focus is on finishing my year in Salzburg and then I’ll evaluate in the summer the possibilities for a potential next step.”
What would be the best move for Marsch?
That next step will be crucial in determining how Marsch’s long-term career will pan out. And it has to be the right next step.
Celtic are a huge club and can clearly compete in European soccer, and their battle for supremacy in Scotland with Steven Gerrard’s Rangers will be epic in the years to come.
Marsch would be a perfect man for the Celtic job, as his passionate speeches have been a feature of his time with the New York Red Bulls and in Salzburg and that would unite a club which needs new direction, impetus and fresh ideas from top to bottom.
But there is a sense that Marsch could be in line for even bigger jobs in England, Germany (with Schalke and Borussia Monchengladbach) or elsewhere.
The ‘Gladbach job in particular feels like a really good fit, especially as their soon-to-be-departing boss Marco Rose also moved from Salzburg to ‘Gladbach and there is a shared philosophy in developing young players.
USMNT fans want him to be in charge of the national team after Gregg Berhalter, which could clearly happen, but it feels like Marsch’s immediate future is in the club game in Europe.
This is something he has been building towards for a long time.
Marsch spoke with us at ProSoccerTalk back in 2014, during his time as an assistant at his alma mater Princeton College, and revealed he visited his close friend Bob Bradley in Egypt to learn about his experiences there as he and his family traveled around the world to explore everything they could.
The former midfielder with D.C. United, the Chicago Fire and Chivas USA was a former assistant coach for Bradley from 2011-12 and has certainly done the hard yards and tried to be as well-rounded as possible when it comes to his experience in Major League Soccer, Europe and across the world.
Marsch is the next top American coach, following on from his previous managers Bruce Arena and Bob Bradley, and the simple answer is that he should wait it out until the summer because a lot of jobs will become available and he will be at the very top of wishlists across Europe, including at Celtic.
That is a very exciting thing for Marsch, and a very exciting thing for young American coaches.
Manchester United welcomes Leeds to Old Trafford on Wednesday as a stung foe heads to Manchester days after a managerial change (watch live, 3pm ET on USA Network and online via NBCSports.com).
Leeds fired Jesse Marsch on Monday, and fellow American boss Chris Armas will be among the men guiding the club as it seeks a new boss and a way out of the relegation scrap.
Marsch helped Leeds bound out of the bottom three last season but the club has struggled of late and enters this Premier League midweek match in 17th only by virtue of tiebreakers.
Man United, meanwhile, has won four-straight across all competitions ahead of two-straight matches against Leeds (the second, at Elland Road, is Sunday).
The Red Devils can pull level with second-place Man City on points with a win on Tuesday

Key storylines & star players
Marcus Rashford had scored in six of United’s last seven Premier League matches and he’s zipped up the PL goals list as one of just six players with at least 10 goals this season.
One player Rashford is likely to pass is fellow 10-goal man Rodrigo, who will not play for Leeds. The visitors will be looking to new signings Georginio Rutter and Weston McKennie to help lead the way, while Wilfried Gnonto and Jack Harrison seem likely to keep pestering opponents with pace.

What’s next for Jesse Marsch? What’s next for Leeds?
Let’s get this out of the way: Our site’s been a big backer of Jesse Marsch. There are varying degrees of blame to be thrown around for Leeds’ current position, but it’s also difficult to say a coaching change was absolutely out of the question.
Marsch will instantly be linked with the vacant United States men’s national team should he be ready to move back from Europe. His star may need a strong World Cup to burn bright enough for a Premier League return, but he will certainly have opportunities in Europe perhaps before the end of this season, too.
Leeds is being linked with Carlos Corberan of West Bromwich Albion by Fabrizio Romano and others. The 39-year-old Spaniard had been with Huddersfield Town and Olympiacos before joining the Baggies. Corberan has been red-hot through 16 matches in charge of West Brom.
Leeds United statement on firing Jesse Marsch
Leeds United can confirm head coach Jesse Marsch has been relieved of his duties.
Jesse joined the club in February 2022 and was instrumental in keeping the club in the Premier League on the final day of last season.
Rene Maric, Cameron Toshack and Pierre Barrieu will also leave the club.
We would like to thank Jesse and his backroom staff for their efforts and wish them well for the future.
The process of appointing a new head coach is underway and we will continue to keep supporters up to date throughout the coming days.
