David Norris, a former player for Leeds United, expressed his belief that the club has made the right decision in keeping Daniel Farke for the upcoming season. According to Norris, Farke embodies a “Bielsa mentality” that could propel Leeds back to the Premier League in their second attempt next season.

While Farke fell short of securing an immediate return to the top flight, amassing 90 points and finishing third, the club has opted to retain him as manager. Norris commended the club’s decision, emphasizing Farke’s persistence in sticking to his style of play, likening it to that of Marcelo Bielsa.

Looking ahead to the next season, Norris stressed the importance for Farke to start strong, acknowledging that a slow start could put his tenure at risk. As Leeds focus on reshaping their squad over the summer, including handling financial obligations and potential player sales, Farke will be tasked with preparing the team for the challenges of the new campaign starting on August 10th.
