SAM ALLARDYCE is to depart Leeds after failing to keep them up in his four games in charge.
The ex-Newcastle and West Ham boss, 68, exits after a 25-day reign following talks with CEO Angus Kinnear.
Sam Allardyce’s short reign at Leeds has ended following relegation
The Telegraph revealed Big Sam’s fate as the survival specialist saw Leeds sink on the final day.
A 4-1 home loss against Tottenham sent them down by five points – while Everton, who stayed up, and Leicester, were winning.
It’s thought Allardyce’s chat with Kinnear over his future was scheduled before relegation.
He previously performed miracles in ensuring Bolton and Sunderland avoided the drop.
And Leeds were praying he could do the same again – as their third manager this season.
Leeds axed Jesse Marsch in late February and interim chief Javi Gracia in early May.
But they picked up just one point from Allardyce’s four matches.
After opening with a 2-1 loss at champions-to-be Manchester City on May 6, Leeds rescued a creditable 2-2 home draw with Newcastle.
But they then slumped 3-1 at West Ham and by an even bigger margin at Spurs – when they needed to pick up three points and cross their fingers.
