Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke congratulated Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on signing a new four-year contract with the Premier League champions this week. Arteta’s extension will keep him at Arsenal until the summer of 2030, reflecting the club’s confidence in his leadership following their recent successes.

Farke, whose own contract with Leeds is set to expire at the end of the current season, acknowledged that negotiations over a new deal remain ongoing. Speaking ahead of Leeds’ match against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, the German coach said he had no update on the renewal process but expressed his appreciation for the club’s chairman, Paraag Marathe. “I just have compliments for chairman Paraag Marathe. It’s a joy to work with him and a joy to work for this club,” Farke said.

The Leeds manager also praised Arteta’s achievements, describing them as “very, very impressive.” The upcoming fixture between the two clubs marks another significant encounter for Farke, who is striving to lead Leeds to stability and success amid uncertainty over his future at Elland Road.

The match at the Emirates is scheduled for the midday kickoff tomorrow, with both teams seeking positive results as they navigate the demanding Premier League season. Meanwhile, the status of Farke’s contract remains a point of interest for supporters and observers, as Leeds aim to retain their manager amid ongoing discussions.
