Sam Allardyce Resigns as England Manager Tuesday Sep 27,2016

Sam Allardyce's reign as England manager came to a humiliating end on Tuesday  Sep 27,2016 as he departed after just 67 days in charge following his controversial comments in a newspaper sting.

Sam Allardyce's reign was sensationally brought to a close as he paid the price for indiscreetly talking with undercover Daily Telegraph reporters posing as Far East businessmen.

The 61-year-old was secretly filmed giving advice on how to circumnavigate transfer rules, criticised the FA's decision to rebuild Wembley and mocked his England predecessor Roy Hodgson.

Sam Allardyce, appointed England manager in July on a £3 million ($3.9 mn, 3.5 mn euros)-a-year contract, also agreed to travel to Singapore and Hong Kong as an ambassador for their fictitious firm for a fee of £400,000.

Sam Allardyce and the FA agreed his position was untenable, leaving him with no choice but to walk away from the dream job he coveted for over a decade.

Gareth Southgate, England's Under-21 coach, will take charge of the senior team for the next four matches, starting with a World Cup qualifier against Malta on October 8,2016
