Leeds United and manager Sam Allardyce have confirmed they're parting ways.

Allardyce leaves with a record of three defeats and a draw as Leeds were relegated from the Premier League.

"It has been an honour to manage Leeds United, a great club with an incredible fan base, who deserve to be in the Premier League," said Allardyce.

"At this stage in my career I am not sure taking on this challenge, which is potentially a long-term project, is something I could commit to, but I wish the club every success for the future and hope the club returns to the Premier League, where they belong."

Leeds chief executive Angus Kinnear said: "We thank Sam for being brave enough to step in and do all he could to save us.

"Sadly, it was not to be, but Sam, [assistants] Karl Robinson and Robbie Keane did everything they could to lift the mood at Thorp Arch and Elland Road and for that we are all extremely grateful."

The club said "an announcement on a new Leeds United head coach will be made in the coming weeks".
