Sam Allardyce hopes his England successor Gareth Southgate is rewarded for his bold approach at the World Cup.
Southgate has selected a squad with an average age of just over 26 for the tournament in Russia, the third youngest in the event, and also opted to switch to a three-man defence in the build-up to the competition.
Allardyce, who briefly led the national side in 2016, believes both decisions took strong convictions.
