Leeds United interim manager Sam Allardyce confirmed that Robbie Keane will join his backroom staff as he hailed the former Whites star for his influence behind the scenes.
Allardyce has just four games left this season to try and keep Leeds out of the bottom three come the full-time whistle at Elland Road on May 28. The home game against Tottenham Hotspur will be the last after the Whites also take on Manchester City, Newcastle United and West Ham United before then.
Javi Gracia's time at West Yorkshire was called short after a 4-1 defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday ensured that Leeds had conceded a staggering 23 goals in April. The former Watford boss took charge of a total of 12 matches during his tenure, winning on three occasions against Southampton, Wolves and Nottingham Forest.
