Albania boss De Biasi: I'm the right man for the England job

The 60-year-old says the vacant Three Lions post is too good to turn down and is adamant he would lead the national team to “great results” if he was handed the position

Albania boss Gianni De Biasi believes he is the right man for the vacant England job.

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce remains the favourite to succeed Roy Hodgson, who resigned after the Euro 2016 defeat to Iceland, and talks with the 61-year-old have been held this week.

Fellow candidate Steve Bruce has insisted that Hodgson's replacement should be English, even if the Hull City boss himself is unsuccessful.
