Daniel Farke’s reputation in the Championship has only continued to grow as he secured promotion for Leeds United, marking his third successful campaign after previous triumphs with Norwich City. Despite this achievement, doubts over his Premier League capabilities surfaced, leading Leeds to consider potential replacements for the German manager. Rumors of his potential sacking stirred up controversy, reminiscent of Slavisa Jokanovic’s departure from Watford after securing promotion in 2014/15.
However, Leeds ultimately stood by Farke, opting to trust in his ability to lead the team into the top flight. While offers from other clubs came knocking for Farke, including a reported one from Real Madrid legend Raul, the Yorkshire club remained steadfast in their decision. With a significant budget at his disposal, Farke will have the resources needed to compete in the Premier League, potentially silencing his critics and proving Leeds’ decision to stick with him right.
As they enter the top flight, the underdog status of Leeds could be their key to success, with Farke determined to make his mark in the highly competitive league.
