The Whites have only managed to collect eight points from their opening five matches and suffered their first defeat of the season against promotion rivals Burnley on Saturday.
However, personnel at Elland Road are said to be content with Farke’s position for the time being, as he will be given the opportunity to turn things around in the coming weeks, with fixtures against Cardiff and Coventry on the horizon.
Per the report, the 49ers know that the German tactician has the ability to propel the Yorkshire giants back into promotion contention, similar to last season when the Whites endured an equally slow start to their campaign.
Leeds secured only three wins from their first nine matches last season, sitting ninth in the table at the start of October, before picking up pace to finish third.
Daniel Farke’s Job ‘Safe for Now’
It’s been a slow start to the season
Football Insider claim that Daniel Farke’s position at Elland Road is ‘safe for now’, despite Leeds struggling in the early stages of the Championship season. The 49ers aren’t looking to make any knee-jerk decisions just yet.
The German manager faced a challenging summer, parting ways with several key players, including Crysencio Summerville, Archie Gray, Georginio Rutter, and Glen Kamara, while the club’s new signings are still settling in after their late arrivals.
Despite generating close to £150m from player sales this summer, Leeds were only able to reinvest around a fifth of that amount, bringing in eight new players, including Largie Ramazani, Manor Solomon, and Ao Tanaka, to replace the departing stars.
