Farke 'proud and emotional' after Bristol City win — BBC 29/4/25
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke praised his side's performance in their dominant 4-0 win over Bristol City.
The Whites had secured promotion to the Premier League last
Monday and blew their play-off chasing visitors away as they went back to the
top of the table, ahead of Burnley on goal difference, with one game remaining.
"I'm a very proud manager. Obviously the week was not
the easiest because for the first three or four days we were celebrating,"
he told BBC Radio Leeds.
"We got back to training on Friday and it's hard
against a highly-motivated side. I was a bit worried before the game, I
shouldn't have been because the lads showed their determination.
"We scored four fantastic goals and should have scored
way more. It was one of the best performances of the whole season.
"We were so determined to end the season in style with
a top performance and a top result."
Farke has now won three promotions to the Premier League,
having twice won the Championship title with Norwich.
He acknowledged the atmosphere before and during the match
had left him emotional.
"It was not that easy to stay fully focused. It was
quite emotional I have to say," he added.
"When you walk in and hear this noise and see what it
means to people and the joy and pride they have…it is very special.
"It's why I signed the contract two years ago. I found
a club that was divided and one of my main objectives was to reunify the club.
"It was a proud and emotional moment. The atmosphere
today was second to none."
There have been some rumours that the club's ownership could
look to change manager in the summer as they look to avoid the fate of the past
six teams to be promoted to the Premier League and suffer immediate relegation.
The 48-year-old German said that people did not need to
"worry" about his future.
"I'm a very happy man so nobody needs to be worried
about me," he said.
