Next Leeds Manager Odds: Rose The New Favourite To Replace Under-Fire Farke
Leeds' 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest has done little to ease the pressure building on manager Daniel Farke.
After starting the season with a 1-0 home win over Everton, United are 16th in the Premier League and betting sites continue to update their market on who might replace the German, who guided the club to promotion in May.
The Elland Road club's American owners will do all they can to keep the club in the top flight and that might lead to a change of manager.
Clubs often use the international breaks as an opportunity to make a change, which gives the new boss extra time to get to know his squad before their next game.
Despite still being manager of Leeds, Farke has been linked with a return to his former club Norwich, who sacked Liam Manning after a seventh defeat in their last eight Championship games.
If Farke is forced out at Leeds, there are plenty of big names waiting to replace him, and we look at the leading candidates in the market to be the next Leeds United manager.

Rose Jumps To The Top Of The Market
Last week, Marco Rose was 16/1 to be the next Leeds manager, but those odds have been slashed and the German is now the 11/8 favourite.
Rose has been out of work since he was sacked by RB Leipzig in March after a string of poor results both domestically and in the Champions League.
Leeds could do a lot worse than Rose, whose experience at a higher level could be just what is needed at Elland Road.
Marco Rose's Managerial Career:
2012-13 | 2017-19 | 2019-21 | 2021-22 | 2022-25 |
Lok. Leipzig | RB Salzburg | B M'gladbach | Dortmund | RB Leipzig |
Rodgers May Be Ready For Premier League Return
Rodgers’ reign at Celtic came to an end after falling out with the club's owners, and the Northern Irishman could be ready to make a return to Premier League football.
The former Liverpool and Leicester boss is a proven top-level manager, and could be a good fit for a club like Leeds, where expectations are always high.
He has been linked with various clubs since leaving Scotland, so the owners may have to move quickly if Rodgers is the man they want.
The 52-year-old is just 3/1 on betting apps to make his Premier League return with Leeds.
Is Gerrard The Man For Leeds?
Steven Gerrard is in no rush to return to football management, although he was interested in a return to Rangers when Russell Martin was sacked after a disastrous spell in charge at Ibrox.
Gerrard has experience of managing in the Premier League, although his winning percentage of 32.5% at Aston Villa left a lot to be desired.
The former Liverpool skipper is 8/1 to be named as the next Leeds manager.
Next Leeds United Manager Odds:
Manager | Odds | Probability |
Marco Rose | 11/8 | 42.1% |
Brendan Rodgers | 3/1 | 25% |
Steven Gerrard | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Kjetil Knutsen | 14/1 | 6.7% |
Michael Carrick | 14/1 | 6.7% |
Ange Postecoglou | 16/1 | 5.9% |
Gary O'Neil | 16/1 | 5.9% |
Erik ten Hag | 16/1 | 5.9% |
Mark Robins | 16/1 | 5.9% |
Edin Terzic | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Robbie Keane | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Kjetil Is On The Radar
No offence to his current club, but Kjetil Knutsen (14/1) deserves to be managing at a bigger club than Bodo/Glimt.
His stock is at an all-time high after leading the Norwegian side to the semi-finals of last season's Europa League.
Two draws in four Champions League games, including a 2-2 stalemate with Tottenham, shows he is capable of mixing it with any side.
Carrick Is Available After Boro Spell
If Leeds want a manager who is available right now, then Michael Carrick fits the bill.
The only issue with Carrick is a lack of experience in the top tier, with three games as interim manager at Manchester United between Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick all he has on the CV.
He was unbeaten in those three matches and he is 14/1 on betting apps.
Michael Carrick's Managerial Career:
Club | Games | Win Percentage |
Man Utd | 3 | 66.6% |
Middlesbrough | 136 | 46.3% |
Ange Could Reignite Aussie Connection
Leeds haven't been afraid to bring Australians to Elland Road - Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka are two that spring to mind.
Ange Postecoglou (16/1) could be the latest Aussie to be attracted by what Leeds has to offer.
After a tough few months where he was sacked by both Tottenham and Nottingham Forest in the space of 15 weeks, he might be willing to stay out of a dugout for a bit longer.
Ten Hag Among The Outsiders
Erik ten Hag (16/1) is one of the candidates listed further down the market, but it might be a while before we see the Dutchman back in a dugout.
Ten Hag was sensationally sacked after just two games by Bayer Leverkusen.
Others in the frame include free agent Gary O'Neil and current Stoke manager Mark Robins who are both 16/1.
Ferencvaros boss Robbie Keane and out-of-work Edin Terzic are 20/1 shots.
