Allardyce 'itching' to get back

Former Newcastle United and Bolton Wanderers boss Sam Allardyce admits he is keen to return to football.

"It's addiction. That's the trouble," he told talkSport.

"Sixteen years, yes I need a break. But when Saturday comes round, or Friday or Thursday, I'm still lying in bed agitated, still trying to make the decisions I should be making.

"The only decisions I'm making at the moment is whether I have tea, coffee, toast or cornflakes in the morning."

He added: "I hopefully will get another job in the Premier League, with a bit of good fortune. That is sad because somebody else has to come out of a job for me to be considered.

"I know I can be successful because I've done that in the past."
