Daniel Farke is “really good” at Leeds United after a “tricky” transfer window, according to Whites Under-21s manager Michael Skubala.
The German was appointed as the club’s new manager in July, with the former Norwich City boss signing a four-year deal.
The 47-year-old has guided Leeds to third in the Championship table, having won the competition twice before with the Canaries.
He’s good,” Skubala told the Yorkshire Evening Post. “He’s really good. He’s got the first team going, as you can see. I think it was a tricky window for any manager to come into that situation with players coming in and out and not sure and I think you can see by recent results, how well the first team is playing and it’s great to have a really experienced Championship manager around.
As managerial beginnings go, Farke had one of the toughest when it came to the job he arrived into at Elland Road. The Whites had just been relegated from the Premier League following a miserable campaign when not much went right for the club.
- Fellow managers Jesse Marsch, Javi Gracia and Sam Allardyce had all been and gone in the dugout, with Farke having a huge job on his hands from day one.
To make matters worse, a long list of senior players decided that they weren’t going to settle for Championship football.
Star man Rodrigo left permanently, with players such as Marc Roca, Max Wober, Robin Koch and Brenden Aaronson all deciding to head out on loan.
The issues spread into the new Championship campaign, with Leeds failing to really get things going early on. But hard work behind the scenes has resulted in the Whites storming to third place in the table after their 14 matches.
