Allardyce ‘deeply disappointed’ to lose England job

By Daily Sports on September 28, 2016

Sam Allardyce says he is ‘deeply disappointed’ to lose his position as England manager after just 67 days at the helm.

Allardyce was targeted in a Daily Telegraph investigation into alleged corruption in English football, and the departure of the 61-year-old was confirmed following crisis talks involving FA chairman Greg Clarke and chief executive, Martin Glenn.

Former Bolton and West Ham manager Allardyce said: “Further to recent events, The FA and I have mutually agreed to part company.

“It was a great honour for me to be appointed back in July and I am deeply disappointed at this outcome.

“This afternoon (Tuesday), I met with Greg Clarke and Martin Glenn and offered a sincere and wholehearted apology for my actions.

“Although it was made clear during the recorded conversations that any proposed arrangements would need The FA’s full approval, I recognise I made some comments which have caused embarrassment.

“As part of today’s meeting, I was asked to clarify what I said and the context in which the conversations took place. I have co-operated fully in this regard.

“I also regret my comments with regard to other individuals.”

Allardyce’s was the shortest ever tenure for a permanent England manager, with the 61-year-old having taken charge of just one game, the 1-0 win away to Slovakia in a World Cup qualifier earlier this month. (NAN)
