Leeds Chairman Confirms Farke's Position for Premier League Season

Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe has firmly confirmed that Daniel Farke will remain as manager for the club's return to the Premier League, putting an end to speculation about a potential change in leadership. Farke led Leeds to the Championship title with 100 points and secured promotion with a dramatic late goal against Plymouth Argyle. Despite reports linking high-profile managers like Jose Mourinho to the job and concerns about Farke's previous Premier League struggles with Norwich City, Marathe expressed strong confidence in Farke's leadership and highlighted his unique qualities. Marathe emphasized that Leeds will use 'every penny' allowed under financial regulations to build a competitive squad, bolstered by revenue from new partnerships and a strong community backing. He acknowledged the challenges facing promoted teams but believes Leeds is better equipped due to Farke's management, a cohesive staff, and a supportive fan base. The club plans to be proactive in the transfer market to strengthen for the upcoming season.
