Soccer Wednesday, September 28, 2016 England boss sacked after newspaper stingSam Allardyce, who was sacked yesterday due to inapropiate behaviour, during the stadium visit in Slovakia. LONDON — Sam Allardyce was sacked as England manager yesterday having behaved “inappropriately” when seeking a lucrative sideline role while talking to undercover reporters, bringing a crushing end to his dream job after one match and 67 days in charge. The 61-year-old’s fall from grace was swift after he was summoned to a meeting with new FA chairman Greg Clarke and chief executive Martin Glenn to discuss overnight revelations from an undercover sting set up by Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper. “Allardyce’s conduct was inappropriate of the England manager,” the FA said in a statement. He was appointed England manager in July following the departure of Roy Hodgson after this year’s poor showing by England at the European Championship and has overseen only the 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Slovakia.
