England’s national team coach, Sam Allardyce, has been sacked after just 67 days following an undercover sting by British newspaper, Daily Telegraph.
The 61-year-old was caught on camera admitting that he knew of ways to bypass FA rules on player ownership.
In a statement issued on its website, the FA confirmed that Allardyce had left his position.
The statement read: “Allardyce’s conduct, as reported today, was inappropriate of the England manager.
“He accepts he made a significant error of judgment and has apologized. However, due to the serious nature of his actions, the FA and Allardyce have mutually agreed to terminate his contract with immediate effect.
“This is not a decision that was taken lightly but the FA’s priority is to protect the wider interests of the game and maintain the highest standards of conduct in football. The manager of the England men’s senior team is a position which must demonstrate strong leadership and show respect for the integrity of the game at all times.”
