New Leeds United boss Sam Allardyce insists he could “absolutely” win the treble at Manchester City if he was their manager.
Allardyce is convinced that he could guide City to glory in three competitions, with the club aiming to win the Premier League title, the FA Cup, and the Champions League. City are one point clear of Arsenal with a game in hand and they play Manchester United in the FA Cup final, while gearing up for a heavyweight European clash against Real Madrid in the semi-finals. Allardyce believes that he would get the club over the line, as they aim to become the first team to win such a treble since Manchester United in 1999.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “Absolutely [I could win the treble], because the players make you a really good manager and coach and then your job is to be able to communicate with those players, of course. I wouldn’t say easier but it’s a lot more enjoyable, but you still see the worry and the pressure on Pep’s face because you know that the demand is so much higher. Our demand is to try to stay in the Premier League, his demand is they would see Man City as failures if they didn’t win the league or only won one cup competition. That would be a poor season for them.”
