Soccer: McAllister to be named Coventry manager

Liverpool midfielder Gary McAllister is expected to be named as Coventry City’s new manager within the next 48 hours.

McAllister will replace Roland Nilsson, who was sacked last week.

Motherwell manager Eric Black has been linked with the Coventry assistant manager’s job, but he has denied the rumours and insisted that he has no get-out clause in his three-year deal with the Scottish club.
