Outgoing FA chairman Greg Dyke has declared Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce will be new England coach.

Allardyce has been selected as Roy Hodgson's replacement by a three-man panel comprising FA chief executive Martin Glenn, vice-chairman David Gill and technical director Dan Ashworth, beating out the likes of Steve Bruce, Eddie Howe and Jurgen Klinsmann.

Asked if Allardyce was the man for the job Dyke told Sky Sports News: "Clearly the three-man group are convinced he's the right man and I go along with that, yes.

"We appointed a three-man committee to go out and look at all the candidates, come back with a recommendation who they thought was the best man. They've taken that decision and obviously we'll agree with them.

"I think you'd have to ask them but as far as I understand it that's the discussion."
