“Farke perfect replacement unveiled”- Former Liverpool manager tipped to replace Daniel Farke at leeds United, it’s time for change

It was another afternoon to forget for Daniel Farke and Leeds United, as they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground — a result that leaves them just one point above the relegation zone heading into the international break.

Leeds came into the game desperate to bounce back after three losses in their previous four matches, but instead produced another lifeless display. Forest, managed by Sean Dyche, had not won since the opening day, yet they looked the sharper and hungrier side throughout.

Although Lukas Nmecha briefly gave Leeds hope with an early opener, the lead lasted only two minutes before Forest equalised and went on to dominate the second half, adding two more goals to seal a comfortable victory.

Farke Under Fire Again

From the opening minutes, Leeds looked second best in every department. Forest registered 10 shots to Leeds’ one in the first half, controlling the tempo and territory with ease. Farke’s side struggled to create meaningful chances, finishing the game with only three shots on target.

Farke’s team selection also raised eyebrows once again. He persisted with Brenden Aaronson on the wing — a move many fans have questioned. Despite registering an assist, Aaronson had little impact, leaving Noah Okafor as one of the few bright sparks in a poor attacking display.

As the game slipped away, Farke appeared desperate, making all five substitutions within eight minutes. Ironically, one of those changes — Jack Harrison — conceded the late penalty that wrapped up the win for Forest.

Rodgers the Frontrunner for Leeds Job?

With an international break providing time for reflection, speculation over Farke’s future is intensifying. Reports suggest Brendan Rodgers has emerged as the leading candidate to replace him.

The former Liverpool, Celtic, and Leicester City boss is currently out of work after leaving Celtic last month and is said to be keen on a Premier League return. Known for his attacking football and top-flight experience, Rodgers is viewed by many as the ideal man to steady the ship at Elland Road.

Sources indicate that Leeds’ hierarchy are growing increasingly impatient, with insiders suggesting Farke’s dismissal feels more a matter of “when” than “if.”

Leeds in Real Danger

Leeds’ performances in recent weeks have been alarming, especially the heavy defeats to Brighton and Forest. The team has looked disorganised, lacking both confidence and tactical identity.

With a tough run of fixtures coming up against top-half sides, Leeds could find themselves in the relegation zone by December if their form doesn’t improve.

For many fans, the message is clear — a managerial change might be the only way to save their season. Whether that means handing the reins to Rodgers or another candidate, one thing feels certain: time is quickly running out for Daniel Farke at Leeds United.
