Mark Sampson set to leave as England women's manager

Published on: 20 September 2017

Mark Sampson is set to leave his role as England women's manager amid a row over discrimination allegations.

It comes after his side beat Russia 6-0 in a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.

The 34-year-old took over in 2013 and led England to successive semi-finals at major tournaments.

He was accused of discrimination by Chelsea forward Eniola Aluko but has been cleared of wrongdoing by two investigations and vehemently denies the allegations.

The FA is expected to confirm his departure at a press conference this afternoon.
