Leeds United are reportedly considering sacking manager Daniel Farke just days after winning promotion back to the Premier League.
Leeds secured promotion with a thumping 6-0 win over Stoke City on Easter Monday but the club’s US-based owners are reviewing his position with replacements in mind.
The Daily Mail reports that Farke’s job is at risk because of doubts over his ability to keep the team in the top flight.
“No final decision has been made – and there is an awareness that such a controversial move could well backfire – not least with the club’s supporters. But other candidates are being examined ahead of what is a pivotal moment for the club,” reports Mike Keegan.Sacking Farke on the back of promotion would be an incredibly bold move but the last six promoted Championship teams have all been relegated from the Premier League in the following season.
Jose Mourinho is among the managers whose names have been linked with Leeds and a Premier League return would surely appeal to the former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur boss, but the Daily Mail reports that a lesser-known name is preferred.
