Leeds have been told that Jose Mourinho would be a 'good candidate' to replace Daniel Farke, who's been labelled a ' Championship manager'. German boss Farke is fresh off celebrating Leeds' promotion back to the Premier League , having clinched the second-tier title on the final day. But the jubilation came amid reports that Leeds were considering sacking Farke and appointing a manager who's proven in the Premier League. There aren't many managers still working today who are as experienced in the English top flight as Mourinho, currently in charge of Turkish giants Fenerbahce . Ex-Leeds defender Stephen Warnock believes that his former club need someone like Mourinho to consolidate their Premier League status, revealing that he would 'probably' sack Farke, whose two top-flight spells with Norwich ended in relegation and the sack. "I still think Daniel Farke could leave Leeds before the Premier League because in my opinion he's a Championship manager," Warnock told Casino Apps . "I understand why it could happen and if I were the Leeds owners, I would probably make the same decision as well - he's not a Premier League manager for me. "If the owners do replace him, then they need to go with someone who's experienced and knows the league. Leeds fans probably won't like me saying this, but I'd possibly be looking at the likes of Jose Mourinho . "He's not going to win them the league, but he's knows enough about the league to keep them there. I think he'd be a good candidate to do that." Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe, however, declared after the club's title triumph that Farke, 48, was 'his man'. "I'm very excited to run it back with Daniel and collaborate with him," Marathe confirmed to BBC Radio Leeds. "I'm under no illusions that it is going to be easy. The past two seasons the three promoted teams came straight back down but we have something they don't have, we have Daniel Farke first of all... I have ended the speculation. He is my man."

Aside from Farke's future, Warnock is confident that Leeds will be able to survive the drop next season - but it depends on recruitment. "I think Leeds can stay up in the Premier League next season, but they need to sign players," he continued. "Elland Road is a fantastic place to play football and it will be difficult for teams to come and visit, so they need to make sure their home form is strong throughout, but it’s all about the transfer business they do in the summer."
