Leeds could axe Farke by hiring “the most underrated manager in the PL”
Leeds United Clinch Premier League Return as Questions Swirl Over Farke’s Future
Leeds United sealed a dominant 6-0 victory and, combined with Burnley’s win over Sheffield United on Monday, secured their return to the Premier League after a two-year absence.
The Whites have bounced back strongly from last season’s play-off final loss to Southampton and now stand a chance to clinch the Championship title before the campaign ends.
Manager Daniel Farke has now achieved his third promotion to the Premier League, firmly etching his name into club history with this impressive feat.
However, the real challenge begins now for the German, who will need to be decisive in the transfer market to defy recent patterns and ensure Leeds stay in the top tier.
That said, Farke’s future at Elland Road isn’t set in stone. Rumors suggest his position could be under threat despite his success.
Uncertainty Over Farke’s Position
According to the Daily Mail, the Leeds board is reportedly considering a change in the managerial position this summer, even after Farke’s promotion success.
Although he has maintained a solid 58% win rate during his two years in charge, his past struggles in the Premier League may count against him when the board weighs up their options.
No final decision has been made yet, but alternative candidates are already being identified in case the club opts for a new direction.
Farke’s lack of success in the top flight could be a significant factor if the club decides to part ways, despite the accomplishments of the current season.
A Potential Replacement: Sean Dyche
If the club decides to make a managerial change, former Everton boss Sean Dyche could be among the leading contenders.
Dyche would bring Premier League experience and stability—key attributes for a side aiming to avoid relegation.
Though dismissed from Everton in January, Dyche had previously ensured the club retained its top-flight status for two consecutive seasons.
At 53, Dyche has earned praise for his underappreciated work in the Premier League and boasts a better track record than Farke in the division.
Statistically, Dyche has a higher win rate, more goals per game, and fewer goals conceded—traits that make him an appealing upgrade.
His know-how at the top level could be exactly what Leeds needs to avoid a quick drop back to the Championship.
While not the flashiest option, Dyche could provide the grit and experience needed to secure survival in the 2025/26 campaign.
