Very sad news 😦
R.I.P
The England team wore the black armband in their friendly against Egypt, he was a respected man through out his career and was supposed to be one of the few sincere coached who truly loved the art of football. He will be sorely missed_no one can fill The Alexander The Great’s shoes
RIP
