Daniel Farke has told Leeds United's ownership they must match his ambition if he is to continue as manager. The German secured Premier League survival with two games to spare and led the club to its first FA Cup semi-final since 1987, putting him in a strong position ahead of talks with the hierarchy.

Farke, who has a year left on his contract, stated he is "not the right choice" if the club's plans don't align with his vision. He emphasized wanting to maintain control over football decisions, saying, "I will just lead the project when I'm in charge and I take the decisions, like I've done in recent years."

The manager's comments reflect confidence following a season where he overachieved. Leeds' owners are ambitious about the summer transfer window, with no indication yet that the two parties are on different pages regarding their future plans. Farke's clear message: he wants commitment to match his own ambitions at Elland Road.
