Daniel Farke is currently facing scrutiny at Leeds United, but for the time being, he remains the manager at Elland Road. Following a challenging stretch of six losses in seven matches, recent performances have offered a glimmer of hope.
A remarkable victory against Chelsea was succeeded by a hard-fought 3-3 draw with Liverpool, propelling Leeds above the relegation zone. In light of these developments, club officials have expressed their support for Farke.
Farke’s Position Strengthened After Chelsea and Liverpool Matches
According to Football Insider, club representative Mick Brown has stated that Farke will keep his position for the time being. This decision likely would not have changed even with a defeat against Liverpool.
“Daniel Farke is secure in his role for now, which isn’t surprising. Regardless of the outcome against Liverpool, it seems they would have preferred him to continue as manager. They must maintain realistic expectations for this season; those recent results were tough and he likely didn’t save his job solely because of them,” Brown remarked.
“Given the circumstances, gaining four points against top teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool is a commendable result. The board has demonstrated a commitment to Farke, reinforced by their decision to retain him during the summer.”
“This tactical shift has brought more pragmatism and order to the squad, which has been lacking this season. They no longer appear as disjointed as before, thanks to these adjustments, so credit is due for the recent improvements,” Brown added.
Is Farke the Right Choice for Leeds’ Future?
Leeds’ current season has been challenging, particularly when evaluated against fellow newcomers, Sunderland. However, there are indications that they can escape relegation, although Farke must maintain the current momentum to secure their place in the Premier League.
