Sacked By English FA
34 year old Mark Sampson, who is the coach
of England National Women team has been
Sacked by the English FA over inappropriate
relations with Bristol Academy female
players.
This is coming after Eniola Aluko’s, the elder
sister of Nigerian striker, Sone Aluko accused
him of subjecting her alongside her Nigerian
family to a racist ebola joke.
The FA in its statement has however said that
Aluko’s allegations has nothing to do with the
coach’s sack. The FA says it was recently given
full details of the report into Sampson’s
conduct, despite the allegations first being
made in March 2014 which he denied.

“The Football Association can
confirm that Mark Sampson’s
contract as England Women’s
head coach has been terminated
with immediate effect,” said a
statement by the FA.
“Prior to taking charge of the
national team in December 2013,
Sampson was manager of Bristol
Academy.
“In 2014, safeguarding
allegations were made against
him about his time with Bristol
Academy. The safeguarding
assessment was that he did not
pose a risk working in the game.
However, the full report of that
investigation was only brought to
the attention of the current FA
leadership last week and it is our
judgement that it revealed clear
evidence of inappropriate and
unacceptable behaviour by a
coach.
“It is on this basis that we have
acted quickly to agree a
termination of Sampson’s
contract.
“In respect of investigations into
specific allegations made by
Eniola Aluko in 2016, The FA
stands by the findings of the
independent barrister Katharine
Newton’s investigation.
“Sampson has denied all of the
accusations put to him and no
evidence of wrong-doing was
found.
We will continue to support the
independent investigation as it
reviews the recent evidence
presented to it and publish any
new findings and
recommendations.”
