Former Hammers boss Sam Allardyce is expected to be named as the new England manager within 24 hours.

Big Sam, who managed West Ham from 2011 to 2015 is set to become the second former Hammers boss to take the national post following Ron Greenwood's tenure in the late 70s/early 80s.

Allardyce, 61, will leave his job at Sunderland to take the post, a role which he has long sought - so much so that a release clause has been added to most of his managerial contracts in recent years.




His predecessor, Roy Hodgson, quit the job hours after England's humiliating defeat to Iceland in the first knockout phase of Euro 16.
