Big Sam fails to keep Leeds in the Premier League

Leeds have dropped back into the Championship after a disappointing 4-1 loss against Tottenham.

Everton managed to secure safety as they beat Bournemouth 1-0 at Goodison Park.

The West Yorkshire outfit were crowned champions of the second tier in 2019-20 under Marcelo Bielsa before recording a ninth-placed finish on their return to the English top flight.

After dispensing with the Argentine coach, Jesse Marsch kept the Whites up last term but was shown the door by Elland Road chiefs in February.

Javi Gracia lasted just 12 games in the dugout and was replaced by Sam Allardyce earlier this month, with the ex-England boss given just four matches to save Leeds from the drop.

And now Allardyce’s men have received their fate and must embark on another promotion effort in 2023-24.
