Leeds: Daniel Farke is perfect for the Championship
The Whites could secure a perfect Championship boss…
Leeds United have identified a few managerial targets to kickstart the 49ers’ reign, with one man boasting particular experience in the Championship…
What’s the latest on Daniel Farke to Leeds United?
That’s according to The Athletic’s Phil Hay, who penned an article regarding their pursuit of a new head coach following the exit of Sam Allardyce.
The experienced relegation specialist failed in his task of retaining the Whites’ Premier League status, therefore leaving a huge decision to be made for the new-look hierarchy as they seek to bounce straight back to the top flight.
With top target Brendan Rodgers having seemingly been taken off the market by Celtic, it seems that attention has been diverted to the out-of-work Daniel Farke. It is expected that the German will be interviewed early next week.
Would Daniel Farke get Leeds United promoted?
Whilst it is easy to look at his two promotions with Norwich City as a big factor in this potential appointment, when delving deeper it is clear that it is far from just his pedigree that secured this feat with frequency.
His style is seemingly tailored towards the second division, and as such his 4-2-3-1 system relies on balance as well as a few other key factors.
Such a formation is conducive to a classic gegenpressing system, which is akin to what Marcelo Bielsa and later Jesse Marsch tried to uphold during their stints. Such aggressive play, which seeks to win back possession high up the field, would see a return to a style that saw them cruise to the Championship title in 2020.
