Brendan Rodgers lines up Premier League return as Daniel Farke faces Leeds sack
Brendan Rodgers is keen on making a return to Premier League management, while Leeds assess their options with Daniel Farke.
The 49ers are monitoring Farke, as the German head coach is facing increasing pressure to deliver results for the Whites in the coming weeks.
After a poor start to the season, Leeds are struggling at the bottom end of the Premier League and may be forced to switch things up.
Leeds have been tipped to replace Farke with Rodgers, and with the latest developments, this could soon become a reality.
Brendan Rodgers has an impressive Premier League record
Farke was brought to Leeds with the ambition of helping the Whites back to the top flight, but this season was never going to be an easy task.
Rodgers is an experienced Premier League manager, and his record suggests he may be one of Leeds’ best options if they were to pull the trigger on Farke.
Brendan Rodgers’ Premier League record:
- Matches: 312
- Wins: 139
- Draws: 71
- Losses: 102
- Win percentage: 44.6%
The former Liverpool boss has a Premier League record that will most likely appeal to the 49ers, as Leeds are desperate for wins right now.
The 52-year-old is a free agent after leaving his post at Celtic, and has yet to manage in the Premier League since he was let go by Leicester City in April 2023.
According to talkSPORT, Rodgers wants to make a Premier League return and confirmed that Farke is under threat at Leeds.
The Whites are also said to be admirers of Ange Postecoglou, but at this stage, it’s unclear who would be Leeds’ top choice to replace Farke.

Daniel Farke could soon make it four losses in a row with Leeds
Leeds face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday in a match where the Whites will truly need a miracle to help them gain even a point.
Farke’s time appears to be bearing thin at LS11, and with Leeds having already lost their last three league games, the German could be called in for crunch talks in the coming days.
Rodgers’ name will be thrown around a lot should Farke get sacked, and it’s understandable.
The Northern Irishman could be exactly what Leeds need, but time will tell if the 49ers think that too.
