Sam Allardyce
Sam Allardyce believes he should not have left his role as England
coach and confessed he still regularly thinks about his early departure,
Skysports reports.The 62-year-old took charge of just one game as England boss after
taking over in July last year – a 1-0 win over Slovakia in September —
before leaving his post by mutual agreement with the FA following a
newspaper investigation claiming he offered advice on how to “get
around” rules on player transfers.
An FA statement said Allardyce’s conduct “was inappropriate” and
Gareth Southgate was placed in temporary charge, with Allardyce going on
to excel in charge of Crystal Palace before leaving Selhurst Park at
the end of last season.
Despite the incident taking place over a year ago, Allardyce told
Goals on Sunday he had numerous regrets about the whole episode and
struggles to get it off his mind.
“Yeah, there’s no doubt about that (the biggest regret of his managerial career),” Allardyce said. “Legally,
it is a difficult subject for me to talk about at the minute but I
think to say one thing personally: I don’t think I should have left.”
