Sam Allardyce has rejected interest from Wolverhampton Wanderers, even though the Football Association would not have blocked their attempt to lure him to Molineux.

Allardyce resigned as England manager last month after he was exposed by The Telegraph discussing how to get around FA rules prohibiting third-party ownership. He was also filmed talking derogatorily about former England manager Roy Hodgson and his assistant Gary Neville, while trying to negotiate a £400,000 fee with undercover reporters to speak on behalf of a fictional sports agency.
