Leeds United’s manager, Daniel Farke, is under pressure to win promotion to the Premier League next season or risk losing his job.
This comes after the team narrowly missed out on automatic promotion last season, finishing with 90 points but losing four of their last six games. Despite this, Farke’s side made it to the playoff final, where they were beaten 1-0 by Southampton.
Former Scotland striker Frank McAvennie has expressed his support for Farke, saying that he hopes the manager can keep his job and achieve promotion next season.
McAvennie believes that Farke is a good manager and that he was unlucky not to get promoted last season. However, he acknowledges that the demands of the fans and the board at Leeds are high, and that Farke will need to prove himself again next season.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that Everton are poised to sign Jack Harrison, a winger who has been on loan at Leeds from Manchester City.
Harrison has been an important player for Leeds, and his departure could be a blow to their promotion chances.
Overalls, the situation at Leeds United is uncertain, and it remains to be seen whether Farke will be able to keep his job and achieve promotion next season.
However, one thing is clear: the pressure is on, and Farke will need to deliver if he wants to stay in charge at Elland Road.
