‘He’s my man’ – Leeds chairman backs boss Farke

By confirming that Daniel Farke is “my man,” Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe has “turned the page” on the future of the club.

The Whites won the Championship title with a 2-1 victory at Plymouth on Saturday and were relegated from the Premier League two weeks later.

Despite a stellar campaign that led to 100 points, there were rumors the club was thinking about changing manager this summer.

Marathe told BBC Radio Leeds, “I’m very excited to work with Daniel to return it and do it together.”

“I have no illusions that it will be simple.” The three promoted teams have come right back after the previous two seasons, but Daniel Farke comes first.

Marathe responded, “I have ended the speculation,” when asked whether he had put a stop to the manager’s question marks. He is the man I am.

Farke, who has two years left on his contract, won the title for the third time this season, having previously twice placed second with Norwich.

Although his only full season there ended in a bottom-placed finish, he has since found life much harder in the Premier League before being fired in November of his second season with Norwich in the relegation zone.

Prior to this time, Marathe had previously stated that Farke had not received the financial support needed to compete.

The American stated, “Together we are going to build the best squad we can, with every dollar we are allowed to spend,” adding.

Following a run of just one victory in their previous six matches, Leeds won the title.

After two seasons in the Championship, Marathe praised Farke’s temperament in regaining the club’s leadership.

Marathe claimed that “he is such a calming force.” It would be an understatement to say that.

That is how he really has a superpower. After the draw with Swansea, he assured you that he was completely certain that we would be playing in the Prem, and I love him for it.
