Leeds will hire Sam Allardyce as manager to replace Javi Gracia as they attempt to avoid relegation.

Gracia, who replaced Jesse Marsch on Feb. 21, was dismissed on Sunday following a five-match winless run, culminating in a 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth on Saturday.

Allardyce returns to the Premier League for the first time since his departure from West Bromwich Albion in 2021.
