Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe 'not interested' in succeeding disgraced Sam Allardyce as England manager

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has ruled himself out of the running to succeed the disgraced Sam Allardyce as England manager.

Allardyce was sacked by the Three Lions following damaging revelations in a newspaper sting, with the Football Association now looking for their third manager in just a matter of months.

Howe, who has quickly secured a reputation as one of the most promising young managers in English football, was linked with succeeding Roy Hodgson after Euro 2016 but says he's 'not interested' in now taking over from Allardyce.

'It sounds quite arrogant but I am not interested in the job now - who knows what happens in the future,' said Howe.
