Leeds United are back after 16 years of exile

Leeds United’s 16-year exile from the English Premier League is over. Their place in the top flight for next season was confirmed by West Brom’s 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield Town on July 17.

It comes a year after a late collapse saw the northern English team drop to third place and have to go through the playoffs  where it was beaten.

Leeds are considered a sleeping giant, who won the last of its three English league titles  in 1992  and was a Champion League  semi finals in 2001.

A financial collapse led to the team being relegated from the Premier League in  2004.

In 2018, the 49ers Enterprises investment affiliate of the San Francisco NFL team took a minority ownership stake in the club, which is majority owned by Andrea Radrizzani.

West Brom remains a point head of Brentford, which can move into the second automatic promotion place with a win at Stoke on Saturday in its penultimate game.
