There have been a few, as many as 40 in fact on a permanent basis and the next chapter in Leeds United’s eventful history will present itself on Sunday afternoon when Farke’s Whites face Southampton at Wembley in the Championship play-off final.

Leeds have been through an astonishing amount of managers in recent years and here we through the win percentage record of every single one of them in reverse order.
