Farke is one of the longest-serving managers of their respective clubs across the whole Premier League
Daniel Farke says it is never a good sign when clubs have a high turnover rate of managers, amid the dismissal of Thomas Frank by Tottenham Hotspur and the axing of Sean Dyche by Nottingham Forest - their third sacking of the season.
Farke has been at Leeds United since his appointment in July 2023, making him the seventh-longest serving manager in the Premier League. The Whites boss refused to comment on the sackings of his peers this week but was clear that frequent changes at the helm is hardly ever a good omen.
Ahead of Sunday's FA Cup clash with Birmingham City, he said: “I've rarely seen a club being successful - when you have four or five times per season changing your manager, it's never healthy. We've also had this little bit in the past.
“For the players, it’s not that easy because everyone has different ideas about football and different processes. Normally it never works when you change too much and you are a bit like a flag in the wind.”
Farke added: “For me, it's always important, especially for such a big club and such a passionate club, you have the best times when the group of key people is not too big, and the key people are on the same page.
“You can go through the whole history of Leeds United, when there are clear responsibilities, when there are the key people on the same page, when the group is the club is united, then this club was always there with a most successful time.
“Once you lead such a passionate club you have to make sure that you're all on the same page and you go in the same direction. This is crucial.
"You just have to be convinced that you have the right people in the right position. If you do so, then you also stick together when just one or 2% are missing and you're working together on it.
"This is the relationship that we have, and when you have this consistency, you go in the same direction."
