Leeds United chairman breaks silence on Daniel Farke's future with nine-word statement - 'ending speculation' after the club considered SACKING him ahead of Premier League return

Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe has backed promotion winning manager Daniel Farke to remain in charge weeks after the club were considering a managerial change.

The Yorkshire side wrapped up the Championship title yesterday with a dramatic Manor Solomon injury-time winner against Plymouth, beating second placed Burnley on goal difference.

They will return to the Premier League next season after a two year stay in the second tier.

Despite their impressive campaign, which saw them hit 100 points, MailSport exclusively revealed that Leeds were considering replacing Farke, with Elland Road bosses harbouring reservations that the former Norwich City boss could ensure top-flight survival.
