Sam Allardyce is reportedly keen to return to management after losing his job as England boss after just 67 days.

The Football Association announced last night that Allardyce had departed from his role by mutual consent after he got caught up in a media sting.

The 61-year-old was secretly filmed by undercover journalists from The Telegraph, who were posing as businessmen for a Far East investment firm.

Allardyce, who was given a salary of £3m as England manager, allegedly used his role to negotiate a £400,000 deal with the company, but did state that he would need to speak to his bosses at the FA before taking on an ambassadorial role.

During the meeting, the former Sunderland boss was also heard mocking his predecessor Roy Hodgson by calling him "Woy", and he described former England coach Gary Neville as the "wrong influence" at Euro 2016.

Allardyce, who was appointed England boss in July, was also caught discussing how to "get around" the FA's ban on third-party ownership in transfer deals.

In a statement last night, Allardyce 'wholeheartedly apologised' for the comments that he made, and now he has told Sky Sports News that he is determined to return to management in the future because he is not a 'quitter'.

The former West Ham United boss added that he made a 'huge misjudgement' and felt 'very hurt' by the outcome, but has insisted that he did not meet with the fake businessmen because he was 'greedy', but because he was helping out a friend and agent Scott McGarvey.

Allardyce told the broadcaster that his friend was down on his luck and he wanted to help McGarvey seal a £260,000-a-year job, which was being offered by the undercover reporters.

The ex-Bolton Wanderers manager oversaw just one game in charge of England - a 1-0 victory over Slovakia in a World Cup qualifier.
