Leeds CARNAGE III: Sam Allardyce in at Elland Road

Sam Allardyce is taking charge at crisis club Leeds United today.

It's been carnage at Elland Road this morning as manager Javi Gracia and long-time director of football Victor Orta have both been sacked by chairman Andrea Radrizzani.

The Daily Mail says Allardyce is set to be named Gracia's replacement.

Allardyce has been out of management since West Brom's relegation in 2021.

The 68-year-old has overseen Great Escapes involving Crystal Palace, Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland.

Allardyce will take charge of the Whites with only four games remaining of the Premier League season. The Yorkshire giants are a point outside the bottom three.
