Cowley very impressed with Farke work

“Nicky and I had the pleasure of spending a day at Leeds just before Christmas watching Daniel work, and I was so impressed with him and his staff,” the man stated. He worked with the group on some really fascinating projects, and it was the day before a game.

Many members of that group competed under Bielsa and struggled under March. Though Daniel approached things extremely differently than Bielsa, the players respected Daniel just as much as they did Marcelo. I observed a team that was really cohesive, had a distinct style of play, and possessed serious offensive danger.

After Farke’s sixth away loss of the season at West Brom in December, some doubts had started to surface, but he has now quiet them with a winning run of seven league games.

Under his leadership, Leeds just seem to be getting better and better; their 4-0 annihilation of Swansea City on Tuesday ranks among their best games of the year.

The 49ers brought in Farke because he is known for setting high standards and because of the run Leeds is now on, which is similar to what he accomplished twice at Norwich City.
