Sam Allardyce admits his time as a manager might well be over after leaving West Bromwich Albion over the summer.
The former Bolton Wanderers boss has been out of work since departing the Hawthorns in the wake of the club's relegation from the Premier League.
During his time in the dugout, Allardyce has had spells in charge at Wanderers, Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers, West Ham United, Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Everton, as well as a brief spell as England manager.

And though the 67-year-old admits he is not officially retired, having said that in the past, the former Bolton boss admits that he is unsure of whether he will get another job in football management again as clubs turn to younger managers.
Allardyce said that though he had a job offer from abroad a few weeks ago, he was not willing to take it at this stage of his career.
He said: “I’m sick of saying I’ve retired and then saying I haven’t so I’m never saying I’m retiring again, but I don’t know what might or might not come.
"My time might be over, it might be that they choose younger managers today which is obviously as the generations go by, this happens, as sometimes down the line like you’re a player.
"If somebody stops offering you a contract and you know you’re finished, so when they stop offering me a job I’ll know I’m finished, so we will wait and see.
"I did have a job offer from abroad a couple of weeks ago, but obviously for me at my stage of life and where I am at the moment, 10 years ago, yes, but now it’s not for me.”
Allardyce was speaking ahead of a charity game this Sunday when a Wanderers All Stars side which he will manage containing legends such as Jay-Jay Okocha, Kevin Davies and Ivan Campo, will take to the pitch once again in Bolton shirts to take on the current Whites team.
The match is part of fundraising for the treatment of Wanderers defender Gethin Jones' mother, Karen, who has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND).
The family are aiming to pursue the best current care and leading course of treatment which is available only in the United States.
Allardyce said: "Of course John (McGinlay) and Kevin (Davies) have done their work. John’s got some of the players that he played with - the David Lees, the Gavin McCanns - and of course me have got the old boys that were here with me for our successful years, so to see them and to commit to them coming back is what really enthralls me about Sunday.
“Everybody’s taken the time and the effort to put this charity event on, which is obviously a very serious event and while we want to enjoy ourselves, we’ve got to bear in mind why we are here and of course I hope the Bolton public, which I’m sure they will, not just come to turn out to see the past players, but also to raise money for MND which is obviously a terrible disease.
“I’m looking forward to it and I’m probably looking forward to the conversations after as much as the game as well!"
Tickets are priced at £5 and £10 for the 1pm kick-off on Sunday, November 14, and are still available HERE
