Celtic are also interested
Daniel Farke played his longest stay on the island to date and according to consistent reports, the coach, who recently ended his collaboration with Borussia Mönchengladbach by mutual agreement, could return there faster than expected: the 46-year-old is in the Premier League -Relegated Leeds United as a serious candidate to replace Sam Allardyce.
Allardyce had not been able to save the traditional club from the first relegation from the upper house since 2004 in the last four league games, overall the Whites wore out with the 68-year-old, his predecessor Javi Gracia and the former Leipziger Jesse Marsch in a messed-up season three coaches (excluding interim coach Michael Skubala).

Farke and Borussia Mönchengladbach amicably parted ways last week after 36 games (points average 1.28) and just one year after the “foals” with the sixth most valuable squad in the Bundesliga had not managed to get beyond a disappointing tenth place in the table. The coach has now been replaced by ex-Leverkusen Gerardo Seoane in the Lower Rhine.
