Final talks with Leeds United’s next head coach will take place this week as Paraag Marathe and the club’s key decision-makers descend upon London. Pre-season starts at Thorp Arch in less than two weeks and the pressure is ramping up for an appointment to be made.
The final shortlist of candidates, which includes Daniel Farke, will meet with Elland Road’s top brass in person in the capital over the coming days. Chief executive Angus Kinnear and future board members will join Marathe, chairman-elect, for face-to-face talks with those vying to be the club’s next boss.
Of the names which have been credibly linked with the vacancy this summer, Farke has had the most success in the Championship. His two titles in the past five years with Norwich City will certainly appeal, but it is understood to remain an open race among those who will be interviewed.
