Leeds United Suspends Their Coach Daniel Farke After They Found Out That He…

The energy drinks company will become the team’s new shirt sponsor as part of the deal, which comes despite the club’s recent failure to gain promotion to the Premier League.

Red Bull has made its first foray into English football by buying a minority stake in Leeds United.

The multi-year deal will see the company become the team’s new shirt sponsor, while it will also become the side’s “exclusive energy drink partner”.

The firm’s branding will also be prominently displayed at Leeds United’s Elland Road stadium.

Red Bull has attracted controversy over previous deals with football clubs – including in Austria where FC Red Bull Salzburg changed its name, crest and stadium name after being purchased by the company in 2005.

However, in a club statement, Leeds United said its “name and logo will remain unchanged”.

Further details of the deal, including the size of the company’s stake, have not been revealed.

The move comes after the team’s recent failure to secure promotion to the Premier League, despite having one of the most expensive squads in the second-tier Championship league.

The club was beaten to automatic promotion by Leicester City and Ipswich Town, and then lost 1-0 in last weekend’s play-off final against Southampton FC.
