Sam Allardyce will step down as manager of England following allegations he offered advice on how to circumvent FIFA's rules on player transfers.

Allardyce managed England for just one match.

The FA’s recently appointed chairman, Greg Clarke, met with the chief executive, Martin Glenn, and Allardyce to discuss the comments made by Allardyce to undercover reporters from the Daily Telegraph. The hierarchy had been understood to be disturbed by the allegations, which were made in two meetings secretly filmed in London and Manchester and which surfaced just 67 days after Allardyce had secured what he had claimed was his “dream job.”
