Outgoing Leeds United boss Sam Allardyce says he would love to return to the club in a director of football role despite parting company at the end of last season. The former Whites boss claims ex-sporting director Victor Orta was the reason behind his appointment coming so late in the season, with Javi Gracia the preferred choice following Jesse Marsch's dismissal.
Allardyce picked up just one point from his four games in charge of the club but has thrown his support behind his backroom staff, Karl Robinson and Robbie Keane who he believes should take on the role.
Allardyce told the No Toppy Tappy Football podcast: "If I could stay in touch with Leeds, I'd only be too happy in a different position in terms of helping restructure from behind and not on the frontline, where it hits you the most. If that's the case I'd be only too willing to talk to them.
