Fans flocked to Elland Road to celebrate after the final whistle.
Jesse Marsch said:
"I believed that we were going to do this,"
"There wasn't one day I didn't believe and that's why I never talked about being in the Championship.
"For me this business is is about belief, and about exuding it as a leader, and the other part that I had as an advantage was the group of players that we have.
"I believed in them. I believed in their spirit and their resolve and I believed in their character.
"And I believe that over time with all the things we've been through that, that it's made us stronger, not weaker. "
"I don't want them to chant my name, I want them to chant who we are, " he said. "This is not about any one person and it's certainly not about me.
"This is about our club and who we want to become and the unity that we have as a group.
"Don't worry about me. If you want to criticise me, that goes with being a coach.
"What's most important is that we are Leeds United, and the United part of our name is who we are at all moments, at all times. That will always be the case."
