Leeds United sack on the cards for Daniel Farke after Southampton loss at Wembley

Daniel Farke failed to guide his Leeds United side over the finish line at Wembley against Southampton on 26 May.

Adam Armstrong scored the goal that won the game for Saints 1-0 and also sent them back to the top flight.

For Leeds, it was a disappointing afternoon and they're now back to the drawing board, with perhaps another manager.

Leeds United failed to capitalise on good start to 2024

Despite having a strong squad and a promising start to 2024, Farke's side failed to secure promotion back to the Premier League after losing to Southampton in the Championship playoff final.

This disappointing outcome has raised questions about Farke's future at the club.

Leeds had been in a strong position for automatic promotion, with players of Premier League experience and a well-structured team.

However, their inability to capitalise on their opportunities and ultimately losing the crucial match against Southampton has led to speculation about Farke's job security.

The club's management and fans may now be considering a change in leadership in hopes of finding a manager who can successfully guide the team back to the top flight.

The reason Farke was given the job in the first place was because he was viewed as a safe pair of hands and a promotion specialist.

The San Francisco 49ers need to assess their options and if a better manager is available, they have to part ways with the German.

Surely, they can get someone who can control games better and also ensure that they're much more solid defensively.
