Allardyce puts premium on motivation

England's new manager Sam Allardyce on Saturday told his players to use last month's stunning Euro 2016 exit at the hands of Iceland as motivation for the future.

On Friday, the 61-year-old was officially introduced as successor to Roy Hodgson, who resigned after the team bowed out of the Euros following the 2-1 loss to Iceland in the last 16.

Allardyce, who dramatic-ally kept Sunderland in the Premier League last season, wants a young England team to stay positive despite the recent disappointments.
