Mark Robins, the manager of Coventry City, believes Daniel Farke has done a “incredible job” at Leeds United. The two teams are getting ready for their match tomorrow afternoon.
The German manager at Elland Road is still in place even though they were unable to get promoted back to the Premier League. This was made possible, at least in part, by the Whites’ incredible second half of the season, which saw them start a 15-game unbeaten streak at the beginning of the season and propel them into automatic promotion contention.
Ironically, Leeds had to settle for a play-off spot in April after Coventry broke that run. After defeating Norwich City in the semifinals, they advanced to the final but were defeated by Southampton at Wembley Stadium in May.
Important performers like Georginio Rutter, Archie Gray, and Crysencio Summerville moved on to fresh pastures, causing havoc throughout the second summer in a row. The addition of players like Ao Tanaka, Largie Ramazani, and Jayden Bogle, however, lessened the blow, and in August, Wilfried Gnonto signed a new four-year contract to guarantee his future with the team.
Following Leeds’ defeat to Burnley, this month’s competitors for promotion, there were rumors circulating that the Leeds management was considering replacing Farke. Carlos Corberan of West Bromwich Albion has been mentioned as a candidate for the position; however, the Spaniard is rumored to have a £2 million release clause.
With their victory over Cardiff City last weekend, the Yorkshire team bounced back from their defeat to the Clarets and now sit sixth in the Championship. When Coventry travels to Elland Road tomorrow, they’ll be hoping to make it two wins in a row.
The Sky Blues are currently without a win in four games after a sluggish start to the season. Before the match, Robins, 54, was all praise for his manager opponent, knowing he had his work cut out if his club were to get three points this weekend:
According to the Yorkshire Post, he stated, “They’ve got a lot of good players, even though they’ve sold some for a lot of money, they’ve replaced them pretty well.”
They have excellent management, and Daniel Farke has done a fantastic job. However, we were incredibly unlucky the previous season, and they will be trying to improve on that this season.
“Even if we have the same end goal, the pressure at Leeds United is different from that at Coventry City. In my opinion, Daniel is under more pressure than I am.
“We’re excited about this game because it seems exciting, and we expect to compete it better than we did in the previous season—despite the fact that it ended in a tie, we didn’t really participate in the game from an attacking standpoint. Our desire is to try and pick up the three points at a difficult place to go.”
There is always going to be speculation when it comes to a club the size of Leeds, so it’s no surprise that Daniel Farke’s position has been under scrutiny in recent weeks. However, Robins is correct in his assessment of the job the German has done at Elland Road thus far.
He was exceptionally unlucky to miss out on promotion last season. 90 points would normally almost guarantee a top two finish, but a slow start proved costly, and Leicester and Ipswich took full advantage. The minimum expectation this season is to go one better and failure to do so would surely cost him his job. It’s still early days though and they have started well enough for him to remain in charge for the time being. Expect them to continue this form tomorrow with a routine three points.
