Football: Allardyce gets West Ham job

LONDON: Allardyce was confirmed as the new manager of West Ham, the former Blackburn boss taking over from Avram Grant who was sacked after the London side’s demotion to the Championship. West Ham owners David Sullivan and David Gold have turned to the 56-year-old Allardyce to guide them back to the lucrative Premier League at the first attempt. “It’s a fantastic club with a great tradition and loyal supporters,” said Allardyce.
