Corruption charges

Later in September 2016, undercover Daily Telegraph reporters recorded him offering to help them to get around FA third-party ownership rules for a £400,000 contract. Following this investigation, Allardyce soon resigned as England manager under a mutual agreement with the Football Association on the 27th of the same month.

Leeds United looking to appoint Sam Allardyce

Premier League side Leeds United who are struggling at the moment are looking to sack manager Javi Gracia and appoint former England boss Sam Allardyce instead. Victor Orta, the Director of Football has reportedly left by mutual consent.

Leeds are currently placed 17th in the Premier League, and remain above the relegation zone just by goal difference. Moreover, they only have four games left this season. Javi Gracia, who was appointed in February as a replacement to Jesse Marsch has won only three out of 11 league games in charge.

Sam has been out of work ever since the end of the 2020-21 season after his West Brom side got relegated from the Premier League. It was also his first top-flight relegation of his career. Allardyce has previously worked with Leeds chief executive Angus Kinnear at West Ham. If he does indeed join, he will become the Leeds’ fourth manager this season. Michael Skubala briefly served as the interim head coach before Gracia’s appointment.
