Daniel Farke’s Leeds United journey
Daniel Farke was the man chosen by 49ers Enterprises to spearhead the push for promotion following relegation from the Premier League in the 2022-23 season. The Whites would suffer play-off heartbreak at Wembley against Southampton in his first campaign, having lost out in a thrilling tussle for automatic promotion out of the Championship. But Leeds would bounce back, winning the second tier in the following campaign to return the promised land. There is still work to do to retain their top-flight status, but they remain well-positioned to do so. Long term, opinion is often divided among the fanbase over whether Farke is the man to turn Leeds into an established Premier League outfit once again, but for now he is the man entrusted to do so.
