At the end of the season, Leeds United plans to give priority to getting manager Daniel Farke a new deal, according to Football Insider.
Farke signed a four-year contract with Leeds in the summer, along with a number of extras, including a promotion bonus, to start his time there.
According to the article, the contract also contains a clause that states that if he leads the team back to the top division on his first try, he will receive a “huge” wage boost and have his contract extended.
Leeds can still get promoted, thus there is still a chance that Farke’s contract will be extended.
The group has been playing really well lately, going undefeated in their last 11 games.
Leeds won 10 games and drew one during this time, propelling them into the running for an automatic promotion position.
In the battle for promotion, Leeds is currently only two points behind Ipswich and five behind Leicester.
Teams fighting for promotion need to win every point as the struggle for spots at the top of the table intensifies.
Leeds United is in a good position to make a Premier League comeback under Farke.
In recognition of his contribution to the team’s encouraging season, the club’s administration is eager to give the manager a new contract in order to thank him for his efforts and guarantee continuity.
