Manager of the season

There were rumours about Daniel Farke’s future before the season had even begun.

Leeds were reported to have explored other options before sticking with the German, and by December his side were in the relegation zone, with his position again under scrutiny.

However, a win against Chelsea and a draw with Liverpool in successive matches, in a new formation, helped steady the ship.

Farke and Leeds did not look back from that point, finishing on 47 points in 14th place — closer to the European spots than the relegation zone.

It represents an impressive managerial achievement, given Leeds did not spend more than £20m on an individual player and did not significantly strengthen the squad after winning the Championship last summer.
