Roy Keane does not believe Sam Allardyce will want to continue with Leeds United in the Championship due to his 'ego'. The interim boss was brought in with four matches remaining, but was unable to steer the Whites to survival.
Leeds picked up just a single point during Allardyce's tenure at Elland Road, with a heavy home defeat to Tottenham on Sunday confirming their relegation. United earned a point at home to Newcastle United, but would also have had to rely on results elsewhere after falling to defeat at West Ham in their penultimate outing.
Allardyce deflected questions on his future beyond the end of the season ahead of the final-day encounter. Asked over who will be the next manager in the Elland Road dugout, Keane dismissed the prospect of the former England boss remaining in the post.

Keane told Sky Sports: "I can’t imagine Big Sam wanting to go back to the Championship. Not with his ego."
Speaking after the loss to Tottenham, Allardyce told LeedsLive: "If I do anything it will be here, but those discussions will happen across the next few days. Sit down for a couple of days and thrash it out for both sides to be comfortable.
"Last thing I want is walk in and not go the direction we agreed."
