England Women's manager Mark Sampson is sacked over claims of 'inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour' involving players at previous job

Mark Sampson was sacked as manager of the England women's team following further 'safeguarding allegations' against him. Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn revealed he was passed a full report into accusations made against Sampson, shortly after he became England manager, in 2014 of inappropriate relationships with players while he was a coach at Bristol City's academy and that his position was untenable. The confidential safeguarding investigation and report concluded that Sampson did not pose a risk, but Glenn insisted he would have sacked Sampson at the time if he was fully aware of the allegations made.
