Martin Glenn: 'Sam Allardyce absolutely distraught with England departure'

FA chief executive Martin Glenn admits that former England boss Sam Allardyce is "absolutely distraught" after leaving the England managerial role on Tuesday.

Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn has claimed that former England boss Sam Allardyce is "absolutely distraught" at no longer being at the helm of the Three Lions.

Allardyce left his role as England manager on Tuesday by mutual consent after Telegraph investigation accused him of offering advice on how to get around FA rules on player transfers.

Glenn told reporters: "Sam is absolutely distraught. He recognises that he made a terrible error of judgement and I think that he recognises as well that, whilst it's a tough decision that the FA is taking, he can see that at least we have a point.

"Once again, I have to say how personally disappointed I am. I thought Sam had already made a big difference to the FA – he came to St. George's Park and showed real leadership there and had clear enthusiasm for the job at hand.

"I know personally that he is deeply, deeply upset and deeply regrets the error of judgement but I also think that he understands why the FA has had to take this tough decision."

Allardyce was in charge of the England men's senior team for just 67 days and one game, a World Cup qualifying win away in Slovakia.
