Former Liverpool defender Steve Staunton looks set to join another former Red, Gary McAllister at Leeds United until the end of the season.

McAllister took over the reigns at Elland Road last week after manager Dennis Wise left to club for a scouting role at Newcastle United.

Former Republic of Ireland coach Staunton now looks set to join McAllister as assistant manager at Leeds.

Staunton enjoyed two spells at Anfield as a player between 1986-1991 and 1998-2000, making a total of 109 appearances for the Reds.
