Sam Allardyce is the new manager of the England National football team. He
was appointed today after days of negotiations with the English FA and
he's been tasked with restoring the football glory once associated with
the English team as the F.A don't want a repeat of the awful showing at
Euro 2016 were England exited at the hands of minnows Iceland.
"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.
