The Athletic journalist David Ornstein has revealed how much Sam Allardyce will earn if he becomes the next Leeds United manager.
The 68-year-old will have a mammoth task on his hands at Elland Road, as the Whites sit in 17th place with four games left and are not in the relegation zone only due to their superior goal difference.
As Sam Allardyce has reportedly been tasked to complete mission impossible as Leeds United manager, an insight into his earnings have surfaced.
How much will Sam Allardyce earn as Leeds United manager?
It was reported by the Guardian on Tuesday that Leeds are considering sacking Javi Gracia in a season where Jesse Marsch and Michael Skubala have already been in charge of the side.
While Gracia’s experience of steering Watford to safety was touted as a key factor behind why he would be tailor-made for the job, that has simply not been the case whatsoever.
As it seems like Sam Allardyce is destined for the Leeds United manager job, David Ornstein has shared how much he could bank if he accepts the offer.
“He didn’t do it in his last job with West Brom with 2021, but he’s never suffered a relegation other than that. There is a big bounty on this too. £500,000 as a base salary with suggestions of £2.5 million on top of that if he manages to keep Leeds in the Premier League”, he told NBC Sports.
Leeds are clearly desperate for Premier League survival
It is evident to see with how much Leeds United plan to pay manager Sam Allardyce that their worst-case scenario remains returning to the Championship.
After making a good account of themselves in the English top-flight under Marcelo Bielsa, things have gone from bad to worse at the club.
However, it seems like the club are aware that after years of hard graft and a vision that led to their promotion, relegation at the end of the season could mean a return to the Premier League becomes yet another time-consuming process.
