The manager and the style of play
Manager
Daniel Farke
In charge since July 2023
Patient, possession-based 4-2-3-1. A double pivot controls tempo while wide playmakers create overloads — technical rather than frantic.
Leeds secured safety last season and have started 2026/27 well, with Farke in talks over a longer deal.
