Daniel Farke has already passed one crucial test ahead of his potential appointment as Leeds United head coach – the popularity test.
Whites fans are understandably anxious to see a new face take the reins at Elland Road after weeks of uncertainty that have followed the club’s relegation in May.
The imminent start of pre-season training has only added to the pressure to confirm an appointment, particularly with such a big rebuilding job ahead as Leeds prepare their squad for the Championship.
