Farke received a red card during the recent match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The Leeds manager entered the pitch to retrieve a ball for a throw-in while the game remained in progress. Referee Jarred Gillett dismissed the German following the incident, according to The Guardian.
Farke expressed regret over his actions, stating he would never jog on a football pitch again. He described the situation as embarrassing and noted it was the first red card of his career. Leeds United lost the match 2-1 after two goals from Erling Haaland, per Sky Sports reports.
The manager remains eligible to lead the team from the touchline for upcoming fixtures unless the Football Association issues a further touchline ban. Leeds currently occupy 16th position in the Premier League table after 27 matches played. The club continues its campaign to avoid relegation with 11 games remaining in the current season, according to official Premier League statistics.
