Will Leeds United's boss be saying "auf wiedersehen" Elland Road?

That's the question being asked today, after the Whites failed in their bid to return to the Premier League at the first attempt.

The side went down 1-0 to Southampton at Wembley in the Championship play-off final.

Fans seem to be backing the German to stick around and guide them up next year.

Pete Emmerson from the Leeds United Supporters Trust tells us he hopes it's not the last we've seen of Farke:

"If you think back to July an August when he arrived and the turmoil the club was in. Players wanting to leave, left, right and centre. No real style of play. He set about man managing the team extremely well. Gave us an identity. Played fantastic football.

"He's really stretched our young team, with their ability, they're playing better football than they were. There's no reason in my mind that he will be looking to leave or Leeds will be looking to dispose of his services.

"We did see him as a longer term project, so we wanted to give him the opportunity in the Premier League that he didn't have at Norwich. With the resources that Leeds could offer, that Norwich were not able to. So there's no reason for me to see that he'll be leaving the club and we all expect Daniel Farke will be leading the charge next season."
