Sam Allardyce Was The FA's Second Choice For England Job

Sam Allardyce will be the next man to take over as the England manager after Roy Hodgson resigned following England's embarrassing display at Euro 2016.

There has been a number of managers linking with the job including the likes of Steve Bruce, Eddie Howe and Gareth Southgate, but it appears the Sunderland manager has been chosen.

Although, he wasn't the FA's preferred choice of manager.

According to the Telepgraph, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was the FA's first choice, but had to look elsewhere when the Frenchman turned them down.

Good luck, Big Sam!
