The 52-year-old will be officially unveiled as Glenn Roeder's successor at a press conference at 1300 BST.

He flew to the north-east by helicopter on Tuesday morning after attending the League Managers' Association dinner in Nottingham on Monday.

Allardyce visited the training ground, where he met those players who have not yet started their summer break.

Allardyce arrived at St James' Park and signed autographs for fans outside the ground ahead of the announcement.
