Liverpool midfielder Gary McAllister is expected to be named as Coventry City's new manager in the next 48 hours. The former Highfield Road player has been lined up to replace Roland Nilsson, who was sacked last week.
The position would mark McAllister's first foray into management after a successful playing career and he has vowed to bring in an experienced right-hand man. "I have been on the telephone non stop trying to organise things", said McAllister in the Daily Record. "I accept that, as a new manager, I am going to need the right help. Now I am waiting for the certain things to fall into place and then we will take it from there", he added.
Motherwell's boss Eric Black has denied speculation linking him with the job, saying there is no get-out clause in his three-year deal. "It's speculation. I am manager of Motherwell and I have got plenty to get on with. I am working very hard top get positive results for Motherwell", said Black.
