Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix says Daniel Farke has built up "loads of credit in the bank" since joining Leeds United in July 2023, adding that the Whites boss has worked hard to build "a great bond" with the supporters.
Farke has guided Leeds to an FA Cup semi-final and, as a result of Monday's win at Manchester United, they are well-placed to survive in the Premier League.
Speaking on BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast, Rix said: "He has inspired performances a couple of times this season. He has occasionally pulled a different little thing out of the bag which has worked.
"He is bringing very good times to Leeds. His first season was very difficult, his second season saw us get promoted with 100 points, and even when we were questioning whether he was the right guy for the job this season, he took it on board.
"We gave him the tools to get out of the Championship and he did that. He hasn't been given the tools to take the club to 10th in the Premier League, but he has been given the tools for a 15th to 17th-place finish and he is very steadily doing it.
"The question in my head now is if we gave him a really good team, is he going to be the guy to take us up to the next level?
"I really think he just gets this club. For example, he was talking about wanting to disprove the 'Leeds are falling apart again' thing so he knows all the chants and all the noise.
"He constantly shows that he gets the fans and he has a great bond with them, which is so important. It helps the team, gives everyone confidence and gels everything together.
"It has also been a while since this club has had a manager who has stayed for a long time. We wanted someone who we could get behind and genuinely create a bit of history with. For me, he has loads of credit in the bank."
