After a detailed selection process and an agonising wait, Leeds United have finally got their man. Daniel Farke will take the Elland Road managerial reins having agreed terms on a four-year deal to lead the Whites through their first season back in the Championship.
The 46-year-old has been out of work since last month when he left Borussia Monchengladbach after leading the club to a 10th-place finish in the Bundesliga. Farke knows the Championship well, of course, having led Norwich City to two promotions in three seasons during his first stint in English football.
Ideally, Leeds would have been in a position to make the announcement sooner with pre-season testing at Leeds Carnegie having started on Monday. But, while the takeover process continues, they have pushed to get the appointment over the line and Farke is now in a position to begin training with his squad for their first Thorp Arch training session tomorrow as they prepare for the new campaign.
