Daniel Farke named new manager of Leeds

Leeds United have appointed Daniel Farke as their new manager ahead of the Championship season.

The Elland Road club are set for a season in the second division of English football after relegation.

After losing his job as Borussia Moenchengladbach boss, Farke is quickly back in management.

Somewhat of a promotion specialist, having taken Norwich to the top flight twice, he may be exactly who Leeds need.

“I'd like to thank everyone for the really warm welcome, I'm really grateful at this moment, to work for this amazing club," he said.

“I feel humble at this time, I know the responsibility to fulfill all the expectations and I want to repay the trust shown.

“The most important thing is to create a togetherness and unity within this club again and from today onwards, I will work on it with my staff and players, and I trust our supporters will be there when we need them.

“I can't wait for the first game of the season."
