Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is under pressure after a string of poor results has put the club perilously close to relegation in the Premier League.
According to The Daily Mail, Brendan Rodgers who just left Celtic, has emerged as a strong possibility to take over at Elland Road if the board decides to make a managerial change.
Leeds’ woes continued over the weekend, as they suffered another defeat, this time 3-1 against Nottingham Forest.
The encounter began with hope when Lukas Nmecha scored, but the Whites’ lead lasted only two minutes as Forest rallied.
Daniel Farke faces an unclear future at Leeds United.
Ian Ladyman explained that, while Farke may not “deserve” the sack, football’s ruthlessness means his job is far from secure.

“Farke does not deserve to be fired; quite the opposite. But it doesn’t mean he won’t receive it. And since Brendan Rodgers departed Celtic a few weeks ago, every manager in the Premier League’s bottom half has become a little more susceptible,” Ladyman wrote.
Rodgers, who led Leicester City to their first FA Cup victory in 2021, is among the most experienced free agents available. His managerial resume includes successful stints at Liverpool, Celtic, and Swansea City, where his offensive style of play garnered him significant plaudits.
However, his tenure at Celtic was cut short last month after a public spat with majority shareholder Dermot Desmond, leaving the Northern Irishman open to fresh chances.
According to sources close to the Leeds board, Rodgers is praised for his tactical brilliance, expertise in high-pressure situations, and demonstrated ability to rehabilitate struggling teams.
His ability to develop young talent, which he displayed at Leicester with players like as James Maddison and Youri Tielemans, is also consistent with Leeds’ long-term goals.
Meanwhile, frustrations among Leeds United fans continue to rise. Fans have expressed concern about Farke’s apparent lack of tactical flexibility and the team’s failure to maintain leads.
