Leeds United want to bounce back from relegation and return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Not many teams have managed it. Since the 1992/93 campaign, just 26 of the 94 relegated sides have returned the following season.
In recent history, there are three sides who have managed it. Watford and Norwich City recovered from 2020 relegations to finish in the Championship’s top two at the end of 2020/21. Then, last season, Burnley stormed the table after going down in 2022.
LeedsLive has spoken to Michael Bailey of The Athletic for some insight into how the Canaries achieved their bounce back in 2021. It was Daniel Farke’s fourth full campaign at the Carrow Road helm.
