Daniel Farke remained in the dugout after Leeds clinched the Championship title<\/p>\n
Daniel Farke said exhaustion was behind his muted Leeds United celebration, rather than a sign of an imminent exit. Farke\u2019s side had already secured a return to the Premier League<\/a>, but were still at the centre of some final-day drama.<\/p>\n They and Burnley<\/a> were both going in hunt of the Championship title – with Leeds in the driving seat before kick off on Saturday. However, for much of the afternoon, it appeared that Burnley would finish as champions with Leeds being held at Plymouth,<\/p>\n But in stoppage time at Home Park, Manor Solomon scored a late winner sparking scenes of pandemonium in the away end and on the pitch. It was a different story for Farke though, who removed himself from the celebration and sat alone in his dugout.<\/p>\n That prompted onlookers to infer that the German<\/a> was resigned to his fate, after rumours Elland Road bosses would look to change managers ahead of next season. But Farke instead insisted he was too tired to join his players after an arduous, rollercoaster season.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI was so focused to win promotion but honestly I was a bit greedy for the title in recent weeks. We spoke about the only time we won this title was without supporters. I wanted this so badly.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Championship title winners, play-off games and miserable double relegation decided on Final Day<\/a>READ MORE: Leeds fans convinced Daniel Farke sack decision has been made seconds after winning title<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI felt empty at the final whistle. I was too tired to celebrate. Even at half-time, it was complicated because I wanted to give the right message. I am proud to have achieved what we wanted to.<\/p>\n Farke added: \u201cLooking forward to being on the coach home and to close my eyes. I have to be ready again to celebrate this evening. Next week will be celebrating. I need the summer to recharge my energy.\u201d<\/p>\n Solomon\u2019s late winner capped an impressive season for the Tottenham<\/a> loanee, who scored 10 times and registered 12 assists. Leeds will be hoping to call upon him again next season, but the Israeli<\/a> admitted he doesn\u2019t know where his future lies.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t put into words what I\u2019m feeling right now. It is a dream come true to score the winning goal and take this Championship,\u201d Solomon told BBC<\/a> Radio Leeds.<\/p>\n \u201cThroughout the season we\u2019ve shown we deserve this trophy and to finish in the first spot. I\u2019m so glad it happened. We all knew what was happening at Burnley and we knew we needed to score. It paid off and the ball went into the net.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will take me a few days to digest what happened today, right now I\u2019m going to celebrate. I want to celebrate with my partner, with the club\u2019s employees. We deserve it.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been focused on this season, in two or three days we will talk and see what is happening. I don\u2019t know what the future holds but I can just say I love [Leeds].\u201d<\/p>\n Join our new WhatsApp community <\/a>and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
