Daniel Farke is feeling the heat as he heads into his second season with Leeds United, with many believing that this could be a make or break period for his tenure as manager. Despite coming close to securing promotion last season, a defeat in the play-off final left Leeds falling short of their goal, marking the first time a Championship club with 90 points failed to move up to the Premier League.
With a successful promotion under his belt at Norwich in his second season with the club, the pressure is on Farke to replicate that success at Elland Road. Rumors of Leeds keeping a close eye on Carlos Corberan add to the speculation of the pressure mounting on Farke to secure promotion. Former Leeds United assistant manager Gus Poyet has weighed in on the uncertainty surrounding Farke’s future with the club, urging fans to exercise patience and trust in the manager’s vision.
Facing a mini-rebuild in the transfer market this summer due to key departures, Farke has had to navigate some challenges in shaping the team for the upcoming season. The next five fixtures are crucial for Leeds in their push for promotion, with tough matches against formidable opponents on the horizon. As they aim to get back on track and secure some crucial wins, Farke will be looking to alleviate some of the pressure on himself and his team. However, the road ahead remains uncertain as Leeds navigate through a challenging period in their quest for promotion under Farke’s leadership.
