Leeds United have been linked with making the unemployed manager their next boss, and a new update has been dropped regarding the situation, amid doubts over Daniel Farke’s future.

The Whites currently sit 16th in the Premier League table, with four defeats in their last five matches in the competition, increasing the pressure on Farke and Marco Rose, who are linked with his replacement.

He said that, Sky SportsZenny Boswell recently played down rumors that Farke will be relieved of his duties anytime soon, despite a tough run of fixtures on the horizon.

“Leeds have no plans to change their head coach as things go amid growing discontent among fans, and after taking 11 points from 11 Premier League games, the club and Farke feel the team is currently on track to achieve their survival target.

“Leeds are one point above the relegation zone and have the toughest schedule in the Premier League over the next five games, according to Opta, with Aston Villa, Chelsea and Liverpool visiting Elland Road as well as trips to Manchester City and Brentford. The fact that Farke has scheduled radio interviews next week is as strong a sign as any that he will be in the hot seat for at least some of those games, and although it is an arduous journey, there is an internal belief that the Elland Road factor is cause for optimism.

‘Available’ Rodgers linked to replace Farke at Leeds

Now, talk to Leeds United Newsjournalist Graeme Bailey has discussed Brendan Rodgers being Leeds’ next manager, saying he could be a strong option and something that “puts more pressure” on Farke.

“Leeds are not ready to pull the plug. From what I hear, they are now not where they hope to be, but they are fine where they are at the moment. It has not been a great performance at Forest, and the club is aware of that, but they are not panicking. Of course, the pressure increases when you have a manager like Brendan Rodgers available. But nothing has changed, and nothing is imminent.”

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers celebrates after the match

There is plenty to admire about Rodgers as a manager, should he become a real option for Leeds, with the 52-year-old winning the FA Cup with Leicester City in 2021 and leading Celtic to four Scottish Premiership titles, among other honours.

He is an attack-minded coach famous for playing good football in a 4-3-3 formation, and has plenty of experience in the Premier League, even coming close to winning the title with Liverpool in 2013/14, entertaining fans and getting the best of the likes of Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard.

However, it doesn’t look like 49ers Enterprises will rush into a decision with Farke at the moment, but the situation could change if they struggle in these tough upcoming matchups.
