LONDON (Reuters) - Sam Allardyce
moved a step closer to becoming England manager on Thursday after English FA
chairman Greg Dyke said a three-man selection panel will recommend him for the
job.
Sunderland boss
Allardyce is set to replace Roy Hodgson, who stepped down as England manager
following their embarrassing European Championship exit to Iceland in the last
16 last month.
"Clearly the
three-man group are convinced he (Allardyce) is the right man," Dyke told
Sky Sports. "I'd go along with that as well.
"You'd have to
ask them but as far as I understand it that's the discussion. We appointed a
three-man committee to go out and look at the candidates and they've come back
with a decision about who they think is the best man."
The three-man
selection group is made up of FA chief executive Martin Glenn, FA technical
director Dan Ashworth and FA vice-chairman David Gill.
