Robbie Keane has reportedly been lined up for a surprise return to football as a member of Sam Allardyce's backroom staff at Leeds United. Allardyce was confirmed as Leeds boss this morning, replacing Javi Gracia who took over from Jesse Marsch last February. Ireland's record goalscorer Keane is set to join Allardyce's staff for the final four games of the Premier League season and the firefighting mission to help retain their top flight status. Keane (42) has been out of the dugout since departing Middlesbrough in the summer of 2020. Keane joined Leeds from Inter Milan in 2001 but left for Tottenham a year later.
