How Daniel Farke made Leeds United history after latest Elland Road development
Daniel Farke is etching his name in history at Leeds United.
The German manager joined the Whites around three years ago and has built a solid reputation at the club.
After securing Premier League safety last season, the West Yorkshire outfit now look like an even stronger side.
Farke deserves huge credit at Elland Road and Paraag Marathe showed faith in the manager with some quality additions in the summer transfer window.
The prospects in LS11 seem bright after an unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign, with the likes of James Trafford, Ethan Ampadu and Dominic Calvert-Lewin performing at a high level.
While the 49-year-old head coach was disappointed to drop two points against Crystal Palace in the last game before the international break, he did make history after the 0-0 draw.
What Daniel Farke achieved with Leeds United draw vs Crystal Palace
Leeds looked off the boil against Palace as Farke took charge of his 155th game as the club's head coach.
The Whites went into the game as favourites, but Pierre Sage's team kept the hosts on the back foot.
With the West Yorkshire outfit fifth in the Premier League after five games, they had a chance to improve their position ahead of the three-week break.
Despite the disappointment at Elland Road, the German manager now has the fewest defeats of any manager with the Peacocks after 155 games, according to LUFCDATA.
Under Farke, the Whites have lost just 33 games, a testament to his work in LS11.
What's the latest on Daniel Farke contract at Elland Road
Leeds are in contact with Farke about extending his contract, which expires at the end of the season.
The Whites may be close to a new deal with the German manager, but they'll need to reach an agreement sooner rather than later.
Uncertainty in the dugout could fuel noise around Farke's future and affect the West Yorkshire outfit's on-field performances.
The Peacocks will also face a dilemma over their off-field plans if they can't convince the former Norwich City boss to commit his future in LS11.
With the German head coach starting to find the right balance with his team in the Premier League, he could be the best person to re-establish the club in the top flight.
