History

Historical Context

Leeds United’s last top-flight triumph came in 1991-92 under Howard Wilkinson, after which overspending and failed Champions League bids led to loans, the 2007 administration and a drop to League One. The club returned to the Premier League in 2020, fell back in 2023 and now, after that relegation, is pushing for promotion in the 2024-25 Championship.
