Chico Flores is really, really enjoying seeing Sam Allardyce in trouble

Chico's been waiting a long time for this moment, and he's going to enjoy it...

Sam Allardyce is out of his dream job after just 67 days.

The England manager was the subject of an undercover report by the Telegraph. It has been alleged that he used his position to negotiate a deal worth £400,000 and advised reporters posing as businessmen on how to get around the FA’s rules regarding third-party ownership.

Allardyce has only had one match in charge of the national team, a job he’s coveted for a long time, but it looks as though the 1-0 win over Slovakia in a World Cup qualifier will be his first and last game as England boss.

One man who has no sympathy for Allardyce is Chico Flores, the former Swansea City defender.

Flores has clearly never forgiven Allardyce for an incident in 2013 when the then-West Ham manager laughed in Flores’ face.

Allardyce found Flores’ attempts to win a free-kick amusing, and angered the Spanish defender.

Flores, who currently plays for Lekhwiya SC in Qatar, is clearly a man who doesn’t forget being slighted  and took great pleasure in seeing Allardyce under pressure.

He’s been waiting a long time for this moment, and he was going to enjoy it.

Flores was enjoying it so much, he re-tweeted others who enjoyed him enjoying Allardyce’s troubles.

All right, Chico, no need to gloat.
