Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe is set to meet with manager Daniel Farke to discuss his future at the club. Despite speculation about Farke’s potential departure, sources close to the club suggest he will remain in charge for the upcoming season.

Several candidates, including Roger Schmidt, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, and Davide Ancelotti, have been linked to the Leeds United job. However, rumors about Steven Gerrard taking over have been dismissed by pundit Simon Jordan.

Jordan believes Gerrard lacks the credentials to manage a team like Leeds United, citing his lackluster stint at Aston Villa. Gerrard’s Premier League record is comparable to Farke’s, but Farke’s experience managing in the Championship and leading Leeds to promotion could work in his favor.

The meeting between Marathe and Farke will determine the club’s future direction. Leeds United fans will be watching closely to see if Farke gets the opportunity to lead the team in the Premier League or if a new manager takes over.
