Sources: Leeds turn to Big Sam for Prem survival

Leeds United are reportedly looking to Sam Allardyce to help them secure their Premier League survival this season. With the club currently rooted to the bottom of the table, the White’s are desperate to find a new boss to help run their promotion-winning campaign.

Allardyce, nicknamed “Big Sam”, is known for his successful managing abilities, having won various divisions and cups in England. The 65 year old was most recently the manager of Everton and Crystal Palace, and is now without a job after being removed from the latter role in December.

The news means Leeds are the latest club to reach out to Allardyce for his expertise. According to sources, the club believes the experienced manager would be the perfect fit for a testing Premier League season. With 28 games remaining in the season, Leeds are hoping Big Sam can launch a survival bid for the club.

Allardyce has also been heavily linked with the vacant Celtic role and is open to the potential move. In the past, Leeds have appointed “big” managers in a similar situation and many Leeds fans have expressed enthusiasm online at the potential of Allardyce taking the reins.

More news is expected to follow in the coming days as the club look to provide some much-needed stability.
