Jesse Marsch (born November 8, 1973 in Racine, Wisconsin) is an American soccer player who currently plays for Chivas USA in Major League Soccer.

[edit] Career

[edit] College

Marsch played college soccer at Princeton University, where he was an All-American in 1995, after scoring 16 goals as a midfielder/forward. He was drafted by D.C. United (their assistant coach was his coach at Princeton, Bob Bradley) in the third round of the 1996 MLS College Draft.

[edit] Professional

Marsch spent the next two seasons with DC, but only played in 15 games. Bradley, the first coach of the expansion Chicago Fire, acquired Marsch soon after the Expansion Draft in exchange for A.J. Wood and a second-round pick in the 1998 College Draft. Marsch immediately became a regular for the Fire and was a mainstay in their lineup through the 2005 season. He helped the team to the 1998 MLS Cup, giving him three in three seasons in the league. With the Fire, Marsh also won the US Open Cup in 1998, 2000, and 2003. Overall in MLS, he scored 23 goals and added 32 assists (plus three goals and three assists in the playoffs).

After the 2005 season, Marsch was traded to his old coach Bradley and Chivas USA. He left the Fire as the club's all-time leader in regular season games played with 200.

Marsch is one of four players to have played in each of the first 12 seasons of Major League Soccer.^[1] He is also the first player to win three MLS Cup championships.

[edit] International

Marsch has received two caps with the United States national team, playing against Trinidad and Tobago on November 11, 2001 and against China on June 2, 2007.
