Marsch was sacked from his role at RB Leipzig in November — having previously worked under Rangnick at the Red Bull Group — but is now back in management with Leeds his first Premier League club. And he was quick to namecheck his former mentor.
He said, via Leeds Live : " Rangnick introduced complex football tactical and ideas to me in a way that ignited my passion for being a top manager. Thankful we are not playing them down the stretch.
"He sent me a note and that was great. A good luck note."
The 48-year-old was second in command to the temporary United boss during the German's second managerial stint at RB Leipzig.
Marsch spent a year alongside the 63-year-old before moving over to RB Salzburg as Rangnick handed the reins over to Julian Nagelsmann, before taking up a position higher up in the Red Bull football franchise. He then moved to Lokomotiv Moscow before arriving at United in November last year.
