An examination of the alternatives available to Leeds United manager Daniel Farke for today’s Yorkshire derby at Elland Road between Rotherham United and United
Right now, everything in the Leeds United garden appears to be rosey. The Whites are presently enjoying their greatest winning run since Marcelo Bielsa’s championship-winning 2019–20 campaign, which earned them promotion.
They are going into today’s Yorkshire derby hoping to win the league six times in a row against Rotherham United. Daniel Farke was named January’s manager of the month as a result of their improved performance.
Farke stated: “I could do with winning this trophy because it means we’re having really good spells.” Farke’s team is currently one point behind Southampton in second place. It’s an honor for the staff, team, and club. I’m delighted for them.
