Sam Allardyce Rules Himself Out Of Scotland Job

Sam Allardyce has ruled himself out of the running to be the new Scotland manager and has backed David Moyes for the job.

Former England boss Allardyce was installed as one of the favourites for the position after it was vacated by Gordon Strachan on Thursday.

Sam Allardyce left Crystal Palace of his own accord in the summer after keeping them in the Premier League and has been linked with a number of positions since.

But despite Scottish ancestry he says he will not be heading north of the border.

“My parents and sister were all born in Scotland, I have heritage from there, there’s no doubt about that,” he told BBC 5 Live’s Sportsweek.

Asked if the job interested him, he added: “Not at this moment in time because I’m enjoying not being involved at the front end of football at the moment. I think David Moyes would probably be my choice for that one.

“It’s very tempting, but no.”
