Comedian Jack Whitehall has revealed that Sam Allardyce performed a dramatic u-turn within the space of a week to take the Leeds United job.
The 68-year-old was confirmed as the new manager of the Yorkshire club this week. He will be hoping to guide them to Premier League safety over the final four matches of the campaign.
The job also signals Allardyce’s first return to Premier League football since an ill-fated spell with West Brom. It appeared that a return was not even on his agenda as recently last week having taken in Manchester City ’s crushing victory over title rivals Arsenal last week alongside Whitehall.
