LEEDS, England : Sam Allardyce was parachuted into Leeds United on a rescue mission to keep the club above the drop zone but was left apologising to fans after they were relegated on Sunday, saying the squad lacked the talent and depth of the top teams.
"It's really sad Leeds are in this position and to the fans I apologise that I didn't do better and the players didn't do better and try and win at least two out of the four games and give ourselves a better opportunity to stay in the Premier League," Allardyce said referring to his matches in charge.
The 68-year-old Allardyce, Leeds' fourth manager this season, announced his shock return to the game after two years away on May 3 by boldly saying he was"just as good" as Pep Guardiola, Juergen Klopp and Mikel Arteta. But Leeds earned just a point out of his four games on the touchline. Asked if he will make a pitch for the manager's job for next season, Allardyce said there will be discussions next week"when we get over the disappointment of getting relegated.
