The Business Press – June 30, 2023 at 11:29PM

Leeds United fans will have reason to be excited as German manager Daniel Farke is on the verge of becoming the club’s new manager. With an impressive track record that includes leading Norwich City to Premier League promotions on two occasions, expectations are high for Farke’s appointment at Elland Road. While awaiting the ratification of an American takeover by the EFL, Leeds United hopes to have their new manager in place before the squad returns to training on Monday.

Farke emerged as a strong candidate amongst a shortlist that also included the likes of Patrick Vieira and Scott Parker. Despite Vieira initially posing a threat with his strong interview and experience, recent developments indicate that the former Crystal Palace manager is likely to return to his homeland and take charge at Strasbourg.

With Farke’s impending arrival, Leeds United seems ready to embrace a fresh era under the stewardship of a manager who has displayed considerable success in the English football scene. Having steered Norwich City to promotion from the Championship in the 2018-19 season and secured another promotion in the 2020-21 campaign, Farke’s astute tactics and ability to build strong team dynamics make him a compelling choice for the Whites.

Fans can look forward to Farke’s well-known emphasis on producing an attractive yet effective style of football. Throughout his tenure at Norwich City, he implemented a possession-based game coupled with high pressing, showcasing an entertaining brand of football that resonated with supporters.

As Leeds United awaits the final stages of the American takeover, which promises a fresh injection of resources and ambitions for the club’s future, the imminent arrival of Daniel Farke adds to the sense of anticipation and intrigue surrounding the team’s upcoming season in the Championship. The German manager’s proven ability to strategize, develop young talent, and achieve successful promotions aligns with Leeds United’s aspirations of returning to Premier League football.

While the official confirmation of Farke’s appointment is pending ratification from the EFL, all signs point to Elland Road becoming the new home for the talented German manager. The anticipation builds as supporters eagerly await the resumption of training with hopes of a promising campaign under the guidance of their new leader.
