Sam Allardyce has confirmed he is on the verge of taking over as West Ham manager.
Reports surfaced on Friday linking the former Blackburn and Bolton boss with the Upton Park job and in an interview on Sunday the 56-year-old has claimed he is set to take the reins at the troubled club as soon as he returns from holiday with lawyers acting for both sides currently drawing up contracts.
He told the People: “Everything has been agreed in principle and I look forward to taking charge after I have had a family holiday.
“It’s always difficult dealing with the aftermath of relegation but I want to get West Ham back into the Premier League as quickly as possible.”
Allardyce has been out of work since leaving Blackburn in December 2010, and was originally linked with the managerial role at Upton Park in January, as Avram Grant oversaw a troubled campaign which ended in the Hammers finishing rock bottom of the Premier League.
