Farke Contract Extended to 2029

Last Updated : 17-Oct-2026 by Kevin Markey

Leeds United have agreed in principle to extend manager Daniel Farke's contract until June 2029, with paperwork pending after his current deal expires next summer.

Whilst the paperwork is yet to be finalised and signed there is broad agreement on the structure of the new terms.

Farke earned the extension through a 100-point Championship title win, an FA Cup semi-final run, a rare Old Trafford victory, and keeping Leeds in the top half this Premier League season.

The move under 49ers Enterprises ownership shows commitment to stability, as Farke backs struggling Manchester United boss Michael Carrick ahead of Sunday's tense Elland Road showdown—where the Whites haven't won since 2002.
