Leeds United have been linked with a move for "one of the best coaches ever” to replace Daniel Farke at Elland Road.
Pressure mounting on Farke at Leeds
After a promising start back in the Premier League which began with a 1-0 win over Everton, the pressure is starting to build on Farke in Yorkshire.
Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to rivals Burnley means it is now one win in the Whites’ last eight games in all competitions, with Leeds sitting two places and three points clear of the relegation zone.

Taking chances, injuries in the final third and a lack of clinical edge are already proving to be a real problem for Leeds, with Brenden Aaronson guilty of missing a big chance last time out.
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke
Talking after the defeat at Turf Moor, former Leeds United left-back Aidy White played down claims that the 49ers Enterprises should be looking to replace the German.
“I don’t think changing manager, in this period over the next three or four games, is wise. This is an important period. I don’t think it’s the right thing to do. If he doesn’t do well in this period, then huge decisions will need to be made.”
The 49ers have already pulled the plug on Russell Martin’s tenure as Rangers boss, and if things don’t improve for Farke in Yorkshire, the American owners could have another managerial search on their hands.
Next up for Farke and Leeds is a crucial fixture at Elland Road against West Ham United on Friday evening, with the Hammers currently sitting second bottom and four points adrift of Leeds.
Liam Rosenior linked with Leeds move
As shared by TEAMtalk, Liam Rosenior is one manager who has been linked with a move to Leeds after impressing in France with Strasbourg.
Rosenior’s side currently sit 3rd in Ligue 1 and drew 3-3 against Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain last time out.
RC Strasbourg coach Liam Rosenior
The 41-year-old, who plays a 4-2-3-1 system, has experience of managing in England with Hull and appears to be going from strength abroad.
Former striker and now pundit Clinton Morrison is also a fan of Rosenior’s, going as far as calling him “one of the best coaches ever”.
"I actually think he’s a top manager. I spoke to a few people at Derby. He was unlucky to lose his job, the players respected him. He’s one of the best coaches ever.”
Rosenior also shares the same agency as Leeds attacker Aaronson, and if things don’t get better on the pitch, the 49ers may look to firm up their reported interest in the English coach.
