LEEDS UNITED could reportedly look to Ange Postecoglou or Brendan Rodgers if they sack Daniel Farke.
The Whites are in the relegation zone after losing five of their last six Premier League matches – and all of their last three.
Things aren’t about to get any easier for Farke – a perennial Prem struggler with the lowest points-per-game ratio (0.61) of anyone to have managed more than 50 matches since the league revamped in the early 1990s.

And talkSPORT claim that Leeds are offering no concrete assurances over Farke’s future.
Former Tottenham boss Postecoglou and ex-Liverpool head coach Rodgers are two of the replacement candidates in the frame.

Rodgers is another coach with Premier League pedigree – and it’s understood that he would be keen to take another job in the English top flight.
The 52-year-old won the FA Cup with Leicester in 2021 and the Community Shield months later.
He also banked a boatload of silverware across two spells at Celtic – the second of which ended in spiky circumstances five weeks ago.
Celtic chairman Dermot Desmond publicly called Rodgers out for his “divisive, misleading and self-serving” behaviour.
The Northern Irishman has not managed in the Prem since being axed by Leicester in 2023.
He led Liverpool to within two points of what would have been their first Premier League title in 2013/14, when Steven Gerrard’s infamous slip helped tip the scales towards eventual champions Manchester City.
