Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce has been interviewed for the England job
Sunderland have called for a quick resolution after Sam Allardyce was interviewed for the England job at the home of FA vice-chairman David Gill on Tuesday.
Allardyce flew back to the UK from Sunderland's pre-season training camp in Austria, and met with Gill, FA technical director Dan Ashworth and chief executive Martin Glenn.
The 61-year-old left Sunderland in a tracksuit on Tuesday lunchtime and was later seen entering and leaving Gill's Cheshire home via a chauffeur-driven Mercedes.
