On Friday, the English Football Association confirmed that Sam Allardyce has been appointed as the coach of the national team of that country.
Shortly before that, Chelsea's strategist Antonio Conte sent a encouraging message to the 61-year-old specialist.
"I know Sam, a couple of years ago I visited him in the West Ham team," said Conte.
"I can confirm that he will have a fantastic experience, as he will have to lead his country and feel a huge responsibility.
However, that feeling is unbelievable. After all, you defend your colors and the honor of the state," said the recently appointed coach of Italy.
