Manager
He began his managerial career with SV Lippstadt, spending six years with the non-league side, taking them from the sixth tier to the fourth tier of German football.
The 44-year-old then spent two seasons in charge of Borussia Dortmund’s reserve side before being appointed as Norwich manager ahead of the 2017/18 campaign.
He led the club to a 14th place finish in his first season in charge before storming to the Championship title in 2018/19, guiding Norwich back into the Premier League for the first time in three seasons.
The Canaries were relegated back to the Championship after just one season in the top-flight but, he led them straight back to the Premier League the following season.
However, Farke was dismissed in November and would go on to have short stints at Krasondar and Borussia Mönchengladbach, before returning to England and taking the reins at Leeds United.
