However, there is currently no reliable confirmation that Leeds United have dismissed Farke. Recent evidence points in the opposite direction: Farke was still leading Leeds during their pre-season preparations, including the friendly against FC Augsburg on August 15, 2026.
Farke has been in charge of Leeds since July 2023, when the club appointed him on a four-year contract. He guided the club back to the Premier League and subsequently helped Leeds secure their top-flight status.
The German coach has faced speculation about his future before, particularly during difficult periods. Nevertheless, Leeds ultimately retained him, and reports from earlier this year indicated that the club was prepared to continue with him after he helped secure Premier League survival
