Former England manager Sam Allardyce could be in line for a shock return to football at Leeds United if the Premier League strugglers decide to dismiss head coach Javi Gracia.
The Whites have endured a nightmare campaign and are in major danger of dropping back into the Championship after a string of rotten results in recent weeks.
Gracia made a positive start to his Elland Road tenure after being drafted in on a deal until the end of the season, but Leeds have picked up just a solitary point from five matches and are outside of the relegation zone on goal difference alone after Leicester and Everton drew 2-2 on Monday night.
