Sam Allardyce's return to top-flight management could not get much tougher, as he arrives at a Leeds side who are in disarray.
The 68-year-old has been out of work since failing to beat the drop as West Brom boss in 2021, though Leeds have looked to his previous body of work which helped Crystal Palace, Blackburn and Sunderland avoid relegation.
Leeds are safe as things stand, but only just, with only goal difference keeping them above 18th place Nottingham Forest.
Allardyce starts life with a daunting trip to title-chasing Manchester City, before tricky matches against Newcastle, West Ham and Tottenham to conclude the season.
