London — Former England boss Sam Allardyce was to finalise terms on becoming the new Everton manager late on Wednesday, the Premier League club said. Allardyce, 63, stepped in to rescue Crystal Palace from relegation midway through last season but resigned before the start of the current campaign. He will replace Dutchman Ronald Koeman at Everton. "Sam Allardyce will finalise terms on becoming the new manager of Everton [on Wednesday]," the club said. Everton sacked Koeman in October after a poor start to the season and placed their Under-23 coach David Unsworth in temporary charge, but results have not improved and the club is currently one place above the relegation zone.
