Former Leeds striker Robbie Keane will be part of the backroom staff of Sam Allardyce.

The new Leeds coach has wasted no time in putting together his team to try and save the club from relegation.

Allardyce will be joined by ex-Oxford, Charlton and MK Dons manager Karl Robinson as his assistant.

The Times are reporting that Keane, who played for Leeds in his heyday, will be joining as well.

The former Republic of Ireland striker is signing until the end of the season, as are all of the staff.

Keane has served as player-manager for Indian team ATK, along with being an assistant for Ireland and Middlesbrough.
