LEEDS UNITED'S hunt for a new manager continues following last weekend's relegation from the Premier League.
Having been comfortable swept aside by Tottenham on the final day and other results going against them, Sam Allardyce failed in his quest to keep them afloat having been given an almost impossible task to do so with four games remaining.

But Big Sam's time at Elland Road might not be over according to the bookmakers, as he sits a 5/2 joint favourite for the role.
It's Steven Gerrard who he shares that spot with, as the Liverpool legend's price continues to be cut since the weekend.
Gerrard was 10/1 for the post last week and now finds himself perched alongside Allardyce at the head of the betting.
The 43-year-old has been out of management since losing his job at Aston Villa after a poor start to the campaign, with Unai Emery replacing him and doing wonders.
He's been linked with jobs elsewhere across Europe but a step down to the Championship might be what he needs to reset having quit Rangers as champions to make the move to the Premier League.

Brendan Rodgers is another out-of-work boss who has been linked with the vacancy and is best of the rest at 6/1.
He left Leicester with the Foxes in deep trouble before their ultimate relegation on the final day under Dean Smith.
Former player Lee Bowyer is 7/1, with Carlos Corberan next at 10s.
Graham Potter and Patrick Vieira seem unlikely but are in the betting at 18/1 before a host of names including Tony Mowbray at 20/1.
