Jose Mourinho to ‘set Leeds United on fire’ in huge new manager developments
Leeds United returning to the Premier League has already seen ridiculous rumours, including Jose Mourinho explode at Elland Road.
The Whites secured the Championship title with a 2-1 win over Plymouth at Home Park on Saturday, but Daniel Farke looked dejected at the full-time whistle.
After reports suggesting his job was under threat at Elland Road, many believed his reaction may suggest he knows he could be sacked in the near future.
Mourinho to replace Daniel Farke at Leeds United
Richard Keys, reacting to the latest developments in LS11, believes that Farke has had his chance in the Premier League, and the results were not good enough at Norwich.
Speaking on beIN Sports after Leeds lifted the Championship title, Keys shared what he believes could happen after the latest rumours, with Mourinho backed for success at Elland Road.
“Daniel Farke has had two chances in the Premier League and neither worked out very well,” he said.
“Mourinho would set Leeds on fire, they would not go down, let’s get that straight, I think they would be competitive at the top end of season two.
“There’s no move on that, just a rumour.”
Mourinho may leave Fenerbahce for Premier League
After admitting in recent weeks that he wants his next job to avoid UEFA competitions for now, the Special One could be watching developments at Leeds closely.
Not many have the name and respect of Leeds United, even if they are just returning to the Premier League, and the 49ers Enterprises have the money to make most things happen.
For now, any talk of a new manager would be disrespectful, though.
Farke has done more than enough to earn another shot in the Premier League, but this time with much better backing than what he was given at Norwich.

| Norwich City | 6 wins in 49 matches |
Given that Mourinho is also still in charge at Fenerbahce in Turkiye, it would take some movement on that end before this could progress past simple rumours.
Leeds are back in the Premier League, where they belong, and that is what everyone should focus on for now, rather than any meaningless talk about managers and change.
Let the good times commence again at the very top, with the Whites ready to buck the trend of pathetic promoted clubs in recent years of English football.
