- Kjetil Knutsen and Edin Terzić lead the way in the latest market to be next Leeds manager
- Daniel Farke reportedly under pressure despite promotion to the Premier League
Kjetil Knutsen 2/1 favourite for the Leeds United job
In a twist few expected, Daniel Farke's position at Leeds United could be in jeopardy despite securing promotion to the Premier League in his second season in charge.
Reports suggest that the club’s ownership may look to change direction before the new top-flight campaign begins and the betting market has reacted swiftly for the next Leeds Manager.
Kjetil Knutsen, the Norwegian coach best known for his success with Bodø/Glimt, is now 2/1 favourite to take over at Elland Road.
Knutsen has been repeatedly linked with Premier League jobs in the past and is seen as a progressive, tactically astute option.
Following him in the market are former Dortmund manager Edin Terzić and Sean Dyche, who could be brought in to give stability to Leeds in the Premier League.

What the expert says...
Who Are the Main Contenders?
Edin Terzić, fresh from his stint at Borussia Dortmund which he left last summer, is now 4/1 and would represent a bold, continental appointment.
His work with young talent could appeal to Leeds’ hierarchy, particularly under the current ownership model.
Liam Rosenior (10/1) and Will Still (12/1) represent exciting young managers with modern credentials, while Marcelo Bielsa makes a surprise reappearance in the betting at 16/1.
Though a reunion seems unlikely, the Argentine’s legacy at Elland Road still looms large.

Could Farke Really Be Replaced?
While sacking a promotion-winning manager might seem harsh, football has a short memory, especially in the Premier League.
Farke did the job asked of him but questions reportedly remain over his adaptability at the top level.
With the Championship season not even over yet, the board could act quickly if they want to install a new figure.
