New England manager Sam Allardyce outlines his desire to make people proud of the national team once again.

Sam Allardyce has spoken of his delight at being named as the new manager of England.

The 61-year-old was officially appointed as Roy Hodgson's successor earlier this afternoon, 10 years after he was overlooked for the post in favour of Steve McClaren.

Allardyce has signed a two-year deal with the Football Association that will take him through to the 2018 World Cup, and he hopes to make the country proud of the national team once again.

"I can't stop smiling because I've got this job. This is a job I've waited for for many many years and I'm absolutely delighted that I now sit in this privileged position of being the England national team manager," he told FATV.

"It's going to be a great thrill for me to take the team forward from the nation's point of view and hopefully make everybody so proud of the England team again."

Allardyce's first match as England boss is expected to be a friendly at Wembley on September 1.
