Leeds United’s future is uncertain after their recent relegation from the Premier League, but one man who could play a key role in their transition is Sam Allardyce. The experienced manager was brought in on a short-term deal until the end of the season to help the club avoid relegation, but unfortunately fell short. Despite this, Allardyce has been hailed as a “genius” by former footballer Dean Saunders, who believes that he has a talent for getting the best out of troubled teams.
Allardyce is set to hold talks with Leeds’ hierarchy on Friday to decide what’s next for him. With a huge summer of change ahead for the club, it remains to be seen whether he will be called upon to lead the first team into the new season. Despite being the man who took Leeds down, Saunders believes that Allardyce could be the right man for the job.
Leeds’ recent relegation marks the end of their three-year spell in the top flight, and means that they will be playing Championship football again next season. This is a disappointing blow for the club, but they will be looking to bounce back and regain their place in the Premier League as soon as possible. Allardyce’s experience and expertise could be just what they need to achieve this goal.
