Leeds United want Bo Henriksen appointment in ‘Serious’ new update
Daniel Farke may yet be replaced at Leeds United as Mainz manager Bo Henriksen is on the radar at Elland Road.
Paraag Marathe has publicly backed the ex-Norwich City boss after speculation swirled around his future.
49ers Enterprises were worried about Farke’s record in the Premier League with the Canaries, and there were reports of the Whites looking to make a change after winning promotion.
The West Yorkshire outfit won the Championship title dramatically on the final day of the regular season, but it remains to be seen what their future holds in the top flight.
Henriksen interest serious as Leeds United make contact
There’s been contact between Henriksen and the Whites in recent weeks, according to Bold.
The news outlet reports (12 May) that the West Yorkshire outfit have shown serious interest in the Mainz head coach.

While it’s been claimed that the two parties have gotten in touch with each other, it remains to be seen whether further negotiations with the Danish manager will take place at Elland Road.
The 50-year-old has impressed many with what he’s been able to achieve this season as Mainz sit sixth in the Bundesliga table.
49ers need to have faith in Farke
Farke deserves to continue at Elland Road after ending the Whites’ two-year exile from the Premier League.
The uncertainty around the German manager’s future only distracted the West Yorkshire outfit from their goals in the final few games of the season.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see talks on the ex-Norwich boss’ continuity at the Peacocks reemerge if they have an underwhelming start to next season.
Leeds need to back Farke in the upcoming transfer window and hand him the necessary tools to survive immediate relegation.
The German manager can’t be expected to compete with the best teams in the Premier League with the current squad at his disposal.
Marathe should sanction several quality additions at the West Yorkshire outfit next summer to bolster the current team.
While the Peacocks are potentially being diligent by having Henriksen on their radar, their primary focus should be on recruiting reinforcements.
For now, the 49ers should trust Farke and forget about the Mainz head coach.
