Sam Allardyce 'interviewed by FA for England job'

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce is reportedly photographed leaving the home of FA vice-chairman David Gill following an interview for the England job.

Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce has reportedly already been interviewed by the Football Association over the vacant England manager's post.

Reports yesterday suggested that the FA had called Allardyce in for a meeting, although contrasting speculation emerged later in the day claiming that the 61-year-old had not been contacted about the vacancy.

However, the Daily Mail reports that the former Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United and West Ham United boss had his interview at the home of FA vice-chairman David Gill earlier this afternoon.

The Black Cats manager was photographed walking away from Gill's home, where he also met with FA technical boss Dan Ashworth and chief executive Martin Glenn.

Allardyce flew back to England from Sunderland's training camp in Austria to undergo the interview, although it was claimed that he was on club duty to discuss potential transfer targets.

The likes of Eddie Howe and Jurgen Klinsmann are also thought to be in the running for the job, but Allardyce, who was interviewed by the FA 10 years ago before the appointment of Steve McClaren, is now reportedly the frontrunner.

England are looking for a new manager after previous boss Roy Hodgson stepped down in the wake of their ignominious Euro 2016 exit at the hands of Iceland.
