Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke may be feeling the pressure after Russell Martin was sacked by 49ers Enterprises at Rangers. The German manager has faced a tough start to the Premier League season, with the Whites currently sitting in 15th place after seven matches.
Speculation about Farke’s future at Elland Road was quashed by Paraag Marathe over the summer, but the pressure is on for him to ensure Leeds survive in the Premier League after significant investment in the transfer window.
Despite some impressive performances, including a Championship title win, there is still work to be done. While the Leeds hierarchy has faith in Farke, the recent sacking of Martin at Rangers raises questions about the manager’s long-term prospects.
Farke will need to focus on improving his team’s defensive performance and securing crucial points in upcoming fixtures against Burnley, West Ham United, Brighton, and Nottingham Forest.
While the American owners currently support Farke, the possibility of a managerial change cannot be ruled out if results do not improve. Leeds fans have had mixed feelings about Farke, but ultimately, success on the pitch is paramount in securing his position at Elland Road.
