Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard is the front-runner to take over from Sam Allardyce at Leeds United, according to some bookmakers.
The Whites appointed “Big Sam” with four fixtures remaining in a desperate attempt to retain their Premier League status. However, the gamble had little impact as Allardyce failed to win a game and Leeds were doomed to the Championship on the final day.
Relegation has thrown the club’s future into limbo, with Allardyce yet to confirm whether he will stay on as manager. A proposed full takeover from the San Francisco 49ers - expected to be completed in January - has also been cast into doubt.
