Moving into management, he took charge of Irish club Limerick in 1991, leading the club to the League of Ireland First Divison (second tier) title in 1991-92. He returned to England as a youth coach at Preston North End, also serving briefly as caretaker manager.
Allardyce has been labelled a long-ball manager by some analysts, though he has disputed this perception as “totally and utterly wrong”. He takes a modern technology and statistics-centred approach to tactics and coaching and has been praised for his organisational and man-management skills.
