‘Tactical genius’ says he would’ve liked to have managed Liverpool
Sam Allardyce has had an incredible career in management.
The 69-year-old has had some remarkable jobs from England to Everton to Newcastle all the way back to his time at Bolton Wande൲rers.
Allardyce, whether you like him or not, is a Premier League great, and speaking on the Under the Cosh Podcast, he🐷’s been discussing the manꦫagerial jobs he would have liked to have got.
Big Sam says that he would’ve loved to have managed one of the big clubs in the Premier League, naming Liverpool as a team he would par🍎ticu💛larly liked to have managed.
Sam Allardyce wanted the Liverpool job
The ‘‘🅷 spoke about his ambitions to manage😼 a top club.
“Is there an𝕴y job you wish you would’ve got?” Allardyce was askeജd.
“You always thought that maybe one of the big ones would’ve come up. That would’ve been nice anywhere, but parti♛cularly in the north west if it was Man United or Liverpool,” Allardyce said.
“Were there ever any whi♊spers?” Big Sam was asked.
“No, I don’t think the way I let myself get portrayed🌞 in t🧜he media would’ve helped with the big boys,” Allardyce said.
Sam Allardyce deserved a big job
Allardyce eventually would become a very unfashionable manager, but there’s no doubt about it,🦹 he deserved a big job at one point.
All꧅ardyce had Bolton Wanderers finish in the top eig🌳ht four seasons in a row in the mid 2000s, almost taking the Trotters to the Champions League at one point.
Unfortunately for Allardycಞe, the managerial merry-go-round wasn’t what it is today back𓆏 then.
Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger were both seriously established at Manchester United and Arsenal. Liverpool were just about to hire Rafa Benitez, while Jose Mourinho ꧃was embarking on greatness at Chelsea.
Manchester City and Tottenham hadn’t established themselves am🥀ongst the ‘big six’ by that point, so the big job never came up for Allardyce.
It would’ve been very interesting✤ to see how Allardyce would’ve got on if he got one of these top jobs.
