England Manager Sam Allardyce to Make Amends With Arsenal Boss Arsene Wenger
New England manager Sam Allardyce is aiming to build bridges with the Premier League managers he's previously clashed with, and top of the list is Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, according to the Evening Standard .
Allardyce aims to develop a good relationship with Gunners manager Wenger, with whom he has a history of feisty feuds, in order to ensure his players are readily available for upcoming England internationals.

The two managers have a quarrelsome past - particularly when Big Sam was in charge at Bolton - perhaps due to their differing styles of play. Frenchman Arsene is well-known for his preference for majestic passing while Allardyce favours the physical, 'get the job done' side of the game.
However, the new England boss has said he wishes to put such histories behind him as he aims to take the national side forward following their dismal Euro 2016 exit and the subsequent resignation of Roy Hodgson.
He added: We’ve got to try to help each other if we possibly can - it won’t always be the case.
“The demands on Premier League managers and demand on me as England manager is bound to cause some conflict down the line because the pressures are far greater than ever before.
“I think we suffered more sackings than ever before. I think 56 managers left the clubs out of 92. One hundred coaches left the job in one season.

“So they are bound to want to protect their players and that is what I have to try to overcome with a little bit of give and take, hopefully,” he added.
Allardyce, who will look to rejuvenate an England side that has consistently floundered in recent competitions, has signed a two-year deal with the FA and his first game at the helm of English football will be a World Cup 2018 qualifier against Slovakia on September 4.
