The 49ers are believed to be one step away from unveiling their new manager at Elland Road.
According to sources, Leeds United and Daniel Farke are in advanced negotiations for Farke to become the club’s next manager at Elland Road.
What has become of Daniel Farke?
Over the years, the German manager has accumulated a ton of experience. His first managerial position was with SV
Lippstadt 08 of the Regionalliga West.
He then went on to manage Norwich City, Krasnodar, Borussia Dortmund’s B team, and most recently Borussia
Monchengladbach, where he left earlier this month and is now a free agent on the market, according to Transfermarkt.
The 46-year-old was previously mentioned by Sky Sports as a candidate for the Whites’ open position, along with Carlos
Corberan and Patrick Vieira of West Bromwich Albion. However, it now seems that the former is the one receiving the
hierarchy’s preference.
According to a recent report from The Daily Mail, the former Canaries coach has emerged as the front-runner for the
position after leaping to the top of the board’s shortlist. If the following update is to be believed, a deal is now closer than
ever to being completed.
Will Farke visit Leeds?
is reportedly in “advanced talks” to replace Garry Monk as Leeds’ manager before the 2023–24 season, according to
Football Insider.
The Yorkshire company is “confident” that the appointment will be made and that the deal is “all but done” in the near
future.
The Football League must “ratify the takeover” of the 49ers before Elland Road Chiefs can debut their new look ahead of the
start of preseason.
Leeds will be aware of what a “fantastic” manager, as described by journalist Josh Bunting, Farke is because his squad
defeated the club twice while on the road. Given his stellar record, Farke may be the ideal choice to succeed Sam Allardyce.
According to Transfermarkt, the Steinhausen native, whose favoured formation is a 4-2-3-1, has managed 138 games in the
Championship and has won 71, drawn 38, and lost just 29 of them while averaging 1.82 points per game. This steady play
has more than paid off.
During his time at Norwich, Farke led the side to promotion from the second tier twice so knows exactly what it takes to
compete and be successful at this level, therefore making him an ideal match to try and achieve that again a third time, only
on this occasion at Elland Road in the 49ers’ first campaign fully at the helm.
