Official: Sam Allardyce named New England Coach
“I am extremely honoured to be appointed England manager especially as it is no secret that this is the role I have always wanted,” Allardyce told TheFA.com. “For me, it is absolutely the best job in English football. I will do everything I can to help England do well and give our nation the success our fans deserve.
“Above all, we have to make the people and the whole country proud. I know we have talented, committed players and it is time for us to deliver.”
In taking the reins of his country, the 61-year-old is handed his first opportunity to represent England, having never won an international cap during a two-decade playing career. ‘Big Sam’, as he has been known throughout his managerial career, took the role after steering Sunderland clear of relegation from the English Premier League.
