The situation surrounding Daniel Farke at Leeds United appears tenuous, with his potential departure seeming inevitable due to the team’s recent struggles. Despite fan pressure, the club’s owners, the 49ers, are reportedly hesitant to make any hasty decisions but are evaluating Farke’s tenure.
Amid speculation about potential replacements for Farke, former manager Sam Allardyce has suggested Steven Gerrard as a possible candidate. Gerrard, who recently turned down a return to Rangers, is seen as a frontrunner for the Leeds job by some pundits. The connection between the Leeds ownership and Gerrard’s availability has fueled speculation about a potential move for the former Liverpool player.
However, there are potential obstacles to Gerrard’s appointment. Reports indicate that if Gerrard were to return to work in the UK before April from his current role in the Saudi Pro League, he would owe a significant percentage of his salary. This financial consideration could impact Gerrard’s decision on when and where he chooses to resume his managerial career.
While Allardyce and other pundits view Gerrard as a strong candidate for the Leeds job, the financial implications and timing of his potential return to the UK may play a crucial role in determining whether he ultimately takes over the managerial reins at Leeds United.
