Disgraced England boss Allardyce considering USA move

Former England manager Sam Allardyce is planning to make a move to the United States, according to reports from the Daily Mirror.

Allardyce had to leave his dream post as manager of the England national team after only 67 days as he was caught on video trying to secure himself a payment of £400,000 and also advising 'fake' agents on methods around the illegal third party player ownership.

Due to the scandal, Allardyce's managerial career in England seems to be all but over and according to an unidentified colleague, the 61-year-old will now be looking to make a move to the United States in the future.

He was quoted saying by the Daily Mirror: "If someone gave him an opportunity in the States he'd struggle to turn it down.

"And the way he feels right now I don't think he'd be too bothered about turning his back on England."

The former Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers, West Ham United and Sunderland boss spent time as a player with the Tampa Bay Rowdies back in 1983 and is keen to get back to the States following that experience.

The source added: "Sam has spoken a lot about his time in Tampa. He loved it and it really opened his eyes.

"It's still early days yet, but he hasn't ruled out a return to football and he would love to give it a crack over there in the US."
