Former England boss Sam Allardyce has taken aim at the Premier League's foreign managers.

Allardyce, 65, has been out of management since 2018, when he left Everton as the Toffees turned to Marco Silva.

It was a similar tale at Crystal Palace in his previous job, having kept the Eagles in the top division only to be replaced by Frank de Boer - who proved a bust, lasting four games before being replaced by Roy Hodgson.

Allardyce told talkSPORT: "Not fashionable for the fans, Moysey.

"The fans, they've been brainwashed supporters by foreign coaches, who are [seen as] much better than British coaches.

"And then there was a continuous 10-12 year battering of British coaches here, about foreign coaches are much better than they are.

"But in the end, it's about how good your players are. When you have good players, you are a good manager.

"And the proof about Pellegrini is that when he was at Manchester City with the best team, he wins the league. And when he comes to West Ham and hasn't got the best team, he finds it a little bit more difficult.

"He has got a good team, but I just have this problem about is he playing to what West Ham are talking about in terms of he's picking too many players with attacking-minded senses.

"[vs Newcastle] it could have been five or six. Balls played over the top, just one ball, two one-on-ones with the goalkeeper, and they missed them both."
