Daniel Farke looks to be the man in the frame for the vacant manager’s role at Elland Road. The German manager appears to have won the race for the Whites’ top job, but the takeover hold up seems to be delaying an announcement.
However, in one of the shortest pre-season campaigns in recent times, that does prove a rather large hitch in Leeds' preparations for the new Championship season. The Whites have less than five weeks to go until their opener against Cardiff City and the new man must attempt to cram as much in as possible in order to get his message across.
It’s a tricky task and while the club remain calm, supporters are starting to get a little anxious. Hands are tied somewhat, but the head coach will be putting a pre-season plan together and doing his homework on his players behind the scenes to give himself the best chance of hitting the ground running.
