Daniel Farke update emerges as Leeds United plan to conclude manager hunt
Leeds United are reportedly planning to conclude their managerial hunt next week with interviews being lined up with the candidates.
According to the Telegraph on 16 June, former Norwich City and Borussia Monchengladbach manager Daniel Farke is assessing his next move with a return to English football very much on the cards.
Even Leeds are having a look at multiple candidates but they expect to reach a conclusion in the next 10 days or so and can then begin plans for the transfer window.
Surely better options?
Farke had the reputation of being a Championship specialist with Norwich as he managed to win the league and get promoted, only for them to get relegated the very next season.
That said more about the strength of the squad than his tactical nous and he failed to cut it at Monchengladbach which is an indicator that he may not be what Leeds need.
He does have two Manager of the Year awards during his time at Norwich but that’s not something worth writing home about if he couldn’t prove it in the Premier League.
Marcelo Bielsa, on the other hand, took Leeds to the top flight and with a Championship squad managed to finish in the top ten.
Leeds need someone like that and if they do want someone proven in the second tier, then they should look no further than Carlos Corberan.
He did well at Huddersfield and took West Brom from relegation candidates to within touching distance of finishing in the play-offs.
If Leeds are to pick one candidate, it should be the Spaniard.
