Gone in 67 days: All over for Sam Allardyce

Sam Allardyce’s brief tenure as England manager ended in embarrassment and recrimination last night after just one game in charge.

His contract was terminated by mutual agreement with the Football Association as chairman Greg Clarke and chief executive Martin Glenn confirmed there was no way back from his appearance in a Daily Telegraph investigation into corruption.

Allardyce had been in what he gleefully described as his “dream” job for just 67 days, meaning his reign was the shortest of any full-time England manager.
