The Leeds chair, Paraag Marathe, is flying in from San Francisco for talks with Daniel Farke over the manager’s future. The American will attend Monday night’s Championship game against Bristol City at Elland Road, with Leeds needing to win to move back to the top above Burnley on goal difference with one game remaining, before meeting Farke this week.
Members of the 49ers Enterprises consortium that owns Leeds have privately expressed doubts about whether Farke is the right man to manage the club in the Premier League despite the German leading them to promotion this season and earning 90 points in the previous campaign. Farke was relegated from the Premier League in the 2019-20 season with Norwich, who sacked him early in the 2021-22 campaign after he had led them back to the top flight at the first attempt.
