Catch up with the latest Leeds United evening headlines as attention shifts to Saturday’s visit of Plymouth Argyle

Here are the latest Leeds United evening headlines on Wednesday, November 8.

Daniel Farke has been managing Leeds United for five months now, and the team is winning the Championship and closing the gap on the top two. It seems like a long time ago that there was turmoil over the Whites’ manager early in the year.

Upon Farke’s appointment in July of 2023, he became the fifth person to occupy the position, either temporarily or permanently, after Jesse Marsch, Michael Skubala, Javi Gracia, and Sam Allardyce. In February, the club made its first change of the year by looking at a number of managers to replace Marsch.

One of these was former Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder, who had recently been sacked from Ajax, with Leeds fans reacting negatively to the links after he was spotted in the directors box during a defeat to Manchester United. Javi Gracia would turn out to be the next man up at that time.

Meanwhile, Schreuder travelled to the United Arab Emirates and was named Al Ain’s manager in May. However, the club has since revealed in a statement that he has been fired from that position. The 51-year-old has never worked at one position for longer than a season as a result of his departure.

Aaronson was a member of the Leeds team that was demoted to the Championship despite having a strong start to his career there after joining from RB Salzburg. His difficulties are not over yet; American expatriates are also finding it difficult to adjust to life in Germany.

When questioned about his current difficulties, Aaronson told the Athletic, “It’s like I always say, the show must go on.” “You need to raise your head.

Leeds United trio called up for Wales squad for Euro 2024 qualifying d-day

 

Wales’ three Leeds United players, Joe Rodon, Daniel James, and Ethan Ampadu, have all been called up to play in their pivotal Euro 2024 qualifiers. If Rob Page’s side defeats Armenia and Turkey in their remaining Group D matches, they will advance to the tournament in the summer.

Wales’ victory over Croatia last month greatly increased their chances of qualifying. James was brought off the bench in the 2-1 victory, which saw Ampadu and Rodon start and collect three crucial points with a brace from Harry Wilson.

Brennan Johnson and Aaron Ramsey are back in the starting lineup for Wales’ pivotal matches, which begin in Yerevan on November 18. Page’s team knows that if Wales defeats Armenia, they will automatically qualify if they overcome group leaders Turkey in Cardiff three days later.
