England Women's head coach Mark Sampson has been sacked after information came to light about his conduct during his time at Bristol Academy.

A statement released by the Football Association said Sampson's contract has been terminated after a full report into the 34-year-old's spell as Bristol Academy manager was brought to their attention last week.

Sampson had been at the centre of discrimination allegations made by Chelsea Ladies and England striker Eniola Aluko. He denied the claims, and was cleared by an internal FA review and an independent investigation led by barrister Katharine Newton QC. The FA says Aluko's allegations are unrelated to his dismissal.
