Graham Potter was another manager on the shortlist after being sacked by Chelsea in 2023. Despite interest from Leeds, Potter remained out of work and was not open to discussions with the club due to his recent stint at a top Premier League side.
Although Leeds were keen on Potter, the move never materialized as he saw himself as a Premier League coach. Despite missing out on Potter, Farke has led Leeds to a successful season, narrowly missing out on automatic promotion and securing a spot in the play-offs.
While Potter’s move to Leeds didn’t happen, Farke has proven to be a successful choice, leading the team towards promotion and achieving positive results.
