Sam Allardyce has told Crystal Palace he wants to quit the club

Sam Allardyce has told Crystal Palace he wants to quit as manager.

According to The Daily Mail, Allardyce told the London club on Tuesday afternoon that he will leave his role, less than six months after becoming manager and helping them secure their Premier League status. The former England manager is understood to have held discussions with Palace chairman Steve Parish on Monday evening, where he sought assurances over transfer policy for next season. It appears the meeting wasn't productive, as Allardyce is said to have told Parish that he wants to leave the club. The club reportedly want to hold further talks with the 62-year-old, but he is believed to have already cleared his desk at Palace's training ground. Allardyce oversaw wins over Liverpool and Arsenal after succeeding Alan Pardew in December, and led Palace to a 14th place finish. This isn't the first time a Palace manager has left the club after a successful season. Back in 2014, Tony Pulis left after helping the club escape relegation.
