Leeds United are reportedly eyeing Daniel Farke as a potential candidate to fill their managerial vacancy following their relegation from the Premier League. The German coach, who previously led Norwich City to two Championship titles, is said to be high on the club's shortlist.
Farke, who most recently managed Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach, has a proven track record in English football. His success with Norwich, where he secured back-to-back promotions, makes him an attractive option for Leeds as they aim for an immediate return to the top flight.
Why Farke Fits the Bill
Farke's attacking philosophy and ability to develop young talent align with Leeds' traditional playing style. His experience in the Championship could prove invaluable as the Whites look to rebuild after a turbulent season.
Other names linked with the position include former West Ham manager David Moyes and ex-Everton boss Sam Allardyce, who briefly took charge of Leeds at the end of last season. However, Farke's availability and Championship pedigree appear to give him an edge in the race for the Elland Road hotseat.
Leeds' Rebuilding Challenge
Whoever takes over at Leeds will face a significant rebuilding job, with several key players expected to depart following relegation. The new manager will need to work within financial constraints while assembling a squad capable of challenging for promotion.
Farke's potential appointment would mark a return to the progressive, possession-based football that Leeds fans became accustomed to under Marcelo Bielsa. The club's hierarchy are believed to be keen on reinstalling an attractive style of play after last season's struggles.
With pre-season preparations looming, Leeds are expected to accelerate their managerial search in the coming days. Farke's representatives are understood to have held preliminary talks with the Yorkshire club, though no formal offer has been made yet.
