Friday evening saw England unveil the successor to Roy Hodgson. Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce, a man who has been interviewed for the job on previous occasions, finally received the prestigious accolade and will take charge of the national side.
Just prior to the official announcement, new Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho gave his support to the new England manager, claiming that the former West Ham United man can emulate his countries Euro 2016 success:
"I hope you can do the same because it's your time. In Portugal we were waiting and waiting and finally we got it [at Euro 2016]. I think it is time for you because '66 was a long time ago, so good luck Big Sam."
Many could be forgiven for asking is this the same man as in 2014. One of Mourinho's famous outbursts came at the beginning of that year and was directed firmly at Allardyce during his tenure with West Ham.
