Allardyce kept Sunderland in the Premier League last season and has now been charged with reversing the fortunes of an England side which endured a miserable Euro 2016 after being eliminated by Iceland in the last 16.

Sunderland are yet to bring in any fresh faces this summer, with incoming transfer business put on hold during the FA’s protracted pursuit of new England manager Sam Allardyce. The game of football is to be enjoyed and I have enjoyed my life in the game for many years now.
“He was my essential real place for the last five techniques, however his yearning to regard existing contracts reasoned we were not set up to go on him to Sunderland previously”.
“It’s a very bitter experience as we all know but that inner drive…players should keep, they should hold it and use it as a positive, say “we don’t want to experience that again”.
“The England job is about winning”, Allardyce told reporters.
David Moyes has been named Sunderland boss on a four-year deal.
As of yet, Pearce hasn’t been contacted by Allardyce with a view to joining his coaching setup with the national team.
“The sign of a good manager is they add value to teams and managers and Sam over his long and distinguished career has added value to every single one of the teams he has been in charge of”. “No job is bigger than this for me”.
“They have given me some guarantees and reassurances about what we can do, because let’s be fair, we’ve got a big club which we need to take forward, and make sure we aren’t celebrating staying up”.
“It’s been a bit of a whirlwind couple of days I have to say”, he said.
A return to Monday Night Football would be lucrative, but Neville may want to stay within coaching and could consult brother Phil, who worked alongside Moyes in his short stint as United manager.

“Of course you’re often thinking, wondering whether it’s going to be yourself…are they going to choose you this time?” “I am relishing the challenge and excited by the opportunity”.
