Former England manager Sam Allardyce is set to become the new head coach at Leeds United.

The ex-Bolton, Newcastle, and West Ham boss is set to sign on a huge bonus if he helps the Elland Road club avoid relegation.

At present, Leeds are 17th in the table and in serious danger of going down.

Per the Daily Star, Allardyce has been offered a huge bonus of 1 million to take the position.

His games are as tough as they come, including Manchester City, Newcastle United, West Ham United, and Tottenham in the final four.

Sporting director of football Victor Orta has also departed.

"I am deeply saddened by the way that this chapter closes as Victor has been responsible for some of the best moments of my time as owner of Leeds United and I thank him and his people for all they have done in the past six years," owner Andrea Radrizzani said.

"However, it is clear that it is time to change direction and therefore we have agreed that Victor will leave the club. I understand supporters are hurt and upset, but now is a time for unity.

"We have four cup finals left to play this season and working together, I believe we can survive."
