Football Focus: I don't want to be a relegated manager - Allardyce
New West Brom boss Sam Allardyce says he considered the health risks of returning to top-flight management.
But he feels the positive mental aspect of being back in the dugout should not be discounted.
Allardyce will take charge of a Premier League game for the first time in two-and-a-half years when West Brom entertain Aston Villa on Sunday.
The 66-year-old had heart surgery to insert two stents in 2009 when he was in charge of Blackburn.
