Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is under pressure at Elland Road following a slow start to the Championship season.
The Whites have dropped down to ninth in the Championship standings following their 1-0 defeat to Burnley at Elland Road over the weekend.
Leeds dominated the ball but struggled to break a Burnley side down who were missing several key players due to injuries and went through a squad upheaval over the summer with as many as 21 players leaving the club.
Farke is under pressure to get promotion to the Premier League this season after losing the playoff final against Southampton at the end of the 2023/24 Championship campaign.
There are question marks over the German’s future despite suggestions that he is not facing the threat of sack imminently.
Daniel Farke ‘under pressure’ at Leeds United following the weekend’s result
Leeds sold several key players, including Archie Gray, whose sale helped the club to remain within the PSR margin this summer.
However, the Whites are under pressure to get promoted as the Leeds hierarchy want to be in the Premier League in the 2025/26 season to ease financial pressure on the club.
Leeds are worried about the slow start to the season and according to Football Insider, Farke is under the cosh following the defeat at Elland Road to Burnley.
There are no signs that he is going to lose his job imminently but the pressure is growing on the German with his team now sitting ninth in the table.
Leeds have been tipped to be one of the automatic promotion contenders and the club hierarchy are keen to see Farke turn things around in the coming weeks.
However, the Leeds owners could have a decision to make on the manager if the team fail to get the required results in the coming weeks.
Farke has a good track record of getting teams promoted to the Premier League but that won’t count for anything if results don’t improve soon.
