The future of Daniel Farke has somewhat bizarrely been called into question this week.
Leeds United won promotion to the Premier League on Monday after Burnley beat third-place Sheffield United in the day’s late kick-off.
It was an exciting moment for the club and Daniel Farke, who had come up short in the Championship play-offs less than 12 months prior.
However, the celebrations at Elland Road have quickly been marred by speculation around Farke’s Leeds future.
Daniel Farke said he’d ‘see’ Norwich City ‘again’
Fans are divided over Leeds sacking Farke after he just earned them a place in the top tier.
But it wouldn’t be the first time the manager has been sacked on the back of a big moment.
Farke was sacked by Norwich City after guiding them to their first Premier League win of the season on November 21.
The German won promotion twice with the Canaries, and though his sacking came after a victory, the manager had nothing but positive things to say after his dismissal.
In fact, comments from Farke at the time seemed to hint he would be open to returning to Carrow Road at some point in the future.
The standout quotes from a statement released by the boss days after his axe include him saying ‘two promotions to the Premier League together will connect us forever’ and that ‘we’ll see you again’.
The full statement, as quoted by the Daily Mail, said: “We, and by that I mean our coaching staff of Edmund Riemer, Christopher John, Chris Domogalla and myself have had a great time at Norwich City which has now come to an end.
“We leave Norwich with great pride, having worked for this exceptional club for almost four and a half years means a lot to us.
“Our special thanks go to the fans who have always supported the team and us, making the many great moments at Carrow Road unforgettable, two promotions to the Premier League together will connect us forever.
“Working with the players was a great pleasure during all that time, as we had great trust in each other. We wish the team all the best and we are confident that they will be successful as the team spirit in the dressing room is second to none.
“Football is a short term business and for that we were quite long term in Norwich because it was made possible by Delia Smith, Michael Wynn Jones and Stuart Webber.
“Good bye, Canaries. We’ll see you again.”
Norwich City manager update
Norwich fans would no doubt love to see their promotion-winning gaffer return to the club, especially after just parting ways with Johannes Hoff Thorup this week.
It’s been a disappointing season for the Cannaries, who sit 14th in the Championship going into their meeting with Middlesbrough this week.
