Roberto Di Matteo was relieved of his duties as head coach at the Hawthorns on Sunday after a run of 13 defeats in 18 matches, with first-team coach Michael Appleton placed in charge on a temporary basis.

Allardyce was one of several names linked with the post, but a source close to the former Bolton, Newcastle and Blackburn boss has confirmed he will not apply to succeed Di Matteo.
