As expected Leeds have sacked Javi Gracia and appointed Sam Allardyce on a deal until the end of the season in a desperate bid to avoid relegation.
Allardyce, 68, had been out of work since a short stint as West Brom boss ended in relegation in May 2021.
He becomes Leeds' third permanent manager of the season and will reportedly earn £500,000 for his four games at the helm before being paid a bonus of £2.5m should he keep the club in the Premier League.
