We are delighted to welcome Jesse to the club and excited for him to lead us into this new chapter, said Victor Orta in a statement.
The club slid into a battle for survival after a run of one point from six games. The final match in charge was a loss to Spurs, which came after a 6-0 defeat to the Reds.
Five months after taking charge, Marsch left the side. He replaced his predecessor, who was at the time a member of the team, but they were 11th in the league at the time.
Marsch won two Austrian league titles at FC Salzburg. He began his managerial career in Major League Soccer with the Montreal Impact before taking over at the Red Bulls. Marsch was employed as an assistant by the interim manager of Manchester United.
Orta said that Jesse's philosophy and style of football align with that of the club and will suit the players very well.
Marsch played in MLS for 13 years and also played for the USMNT.
The toughest decision I have had to make during my tenure at Elland Road is the decision to dismiss him.
