With experience of managing 13 different clubs for around 30 years, Sam Allardyce is one of the most experienced managers in the world. The 68-year-old helped clubs like Sunderland, Blackburn Rovers, and Crystal Palace avoid relegation during his reign. Leeds United will be expecting something similar from him as the club is just out of the relegation zone, that too on the basis of goal difference.
However, Allardyce has only 4 games to save Leeds United, who are 16th placed in the Premier League table tied with 2 other teams. Allardyce’s job is not going to be easy, even if he is appointed for the remaining games of the season. Leeds will be facing table toppers Manchester City next before taking on Newcastle United, who are eyeing a top 4 finish this season. This will be his first managerial job after 2 years. Last time, he managed West Brom, who were also battling relegation but failed to avoid the drop to Championship.
Leeds United have been in a difficult position throughout this season and were in the bottom half of the table for most of the season. The team saw the sacking of two managers this season, but nothing changed. Under Javi Gracia, Leeds only won 1 point in the last 5 games, which resulted in the sacking.
