Daniel Farke Faces Uncertain Future Ahead of Leeds United’s Final Game
Leeds United face Plymouth Argyle tomorrow in what could be Daniel Farke’s final match in charge. Despite leading the club back to the Premier League on Easter Monday, recent weeks have cast doubt on his long-term future at Elland Road.
Behind the scenes, Leeds are undergoing structural changes — including staff reshuffles and recruitment updates — as they prepare for life in the top flight. Farke’s position may be one of the next decisions on the table.
Chairman Marathe to Decide on Farke’s Fate
Chairman Paraag Marathe is expected to make a key decision regarding Farke’s role. Former manager Simon Grayson believes the German will stay, but others like Michael Brown and Gabby Agbonlahor have suggested a change could be on the horizon. Marcus Thuram recently showed his support for Farke following Leeds’ big wins over Stoke City and Bristol City.
Cesc Fàbregas Rumoured as Potential Replacement
Cesc Fàbregas has emerged as a potential candidate to replace Farke, according to TBR Football. The former Spain international is currently coaching Como in Serie A, and although he’s flattered by interest, he’s staying focused on the current campaign.
“Nothing has been decided,” Fàbregas told Corriere dello Sport. “I need a short break before sitting down with the club. I’ve had some calls — that’s normal in football — but for now, Como is my priority.”
Promotion Secured, But Questions Remain
Leeds are guaranteed a financial windfall upon promotion, but competing in the Premier League requires far more. Reports suggest the club may invest £100 million this summer to reinforce the squad.
Farke’s Premier League record with Norwich City is less than impressive: only six wins in 49 matches. By contrast, his Championship record is outstanding — 126 wins from 229 games with a 1.91 points-per-game average.
Final Day Drama
As the season concludes, Leeds and Burnley remain neck-and-neck for the title, both chasing the 100-point milestone. What happens off the pitch — including Farke’s future — may prove just as decisive as what happens on it.
