The decision, confirmed by the club’s board, comes just days after Leeds sealed their promotion with a dramatic final-day victory.
Farke, who was appointed last summer, immediately made an impact at Elland Road, rebuilding the squad and leading a dominant Championship campaign. Under his leadership, Leeds finished second, earning automatic promotion. However, behind-the-scenes tensions reportedly grew over disagreements about transfer plans and the future direction of the club.
In a brief statement, Leeds United thanked Farke for his service, praising his “dedication, professionalism, and significant contribution to restoring Leeds to the top flight.” The club added that they are seeking a “new vision” to ensure long-term stability in the Premier League.
Fans have expressed mixed emotions — celebrating Farke’s achievements while questioning the timing of the decision. Several names, including former Brighton boss Graham Potter and ex-Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou, are already being linked to the vacant position.
Leeds United now face a crucial summer as they prepare for their Premier League return, beginning with the search for a new manager to lead them into the 2025/26 season.
