Sam Allardyce has given his reaction the the news that his time as England manager has come to an abrupt end.

Allardyce's ended his tenure as the latest national team manager this evening after just 67 days in the post following a string of allegations made by a newspaper, after he "mutually agreed" to leave the position.

And the former Hammers boss, who spent four years at the Boleyn Ground revealed that he was "deeply disappointed" to leave a post he had sought for many years.




"Further to recent events, The FA and I have mutually agreed to part company," he said shortly after his departure was confirmed. "It was a great honour for me to be appointed back in July and I am deeply disappointed at this outcome.

"This afternoon, I met with Greg Clarke and Martin Glenn and offered a sincere and wholehearted apology for my actions. Although it was made clear during the recorded conversations that any proposed arrangements would need The FA’s full approval, I recognise I made some comments which have caused embarrassment.

"As part of today’s meeting, I was asked to clarify what I said and the context in which the conversations took place. I have co-operated fully in this regard. I also regret my comments with regard to other individuals."
