Image Source: mansheet.net[/caption] Internet Desk: England manager Sam Allardyce has been sacked following his comments in a newspaper sting operation. Allardyce was in the post for one match and 67 days. He has been removed from the post of manager for his “inappropriate” behavior, the Football Association said on Tuesday. The 61-year-old manager was caught in a sting operation by Daily Telegraph, claiming he offered advice to a bogus group of Far East businessmen on how to get around rules on player transfers. Allardyce was reported to have used his role to negotiate a deal worth 400,000 pounds ($520,840.00) to represent a Far East firm seeking advice on the transfer market. The FA said in a statement: "Allardyce's conduct, as reported today, was inappropriate of the England manager. He accepts he made a significant error of judgement and has apologised. However, due to the serious nature of his actions, The FA and Allardyce have mutually agreed to terminate his contract with immediate effect." Allardyce was appointed the manager of England in July following the departure of Roy Hodgson after this year's European Championship and has overseen only the 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Slovakia. Gareth Southgate will take charge of the England team for the next four matches against Malta, Slovenia, Scotland and Spain. According to reports, Bournemouth's Eddie Howe is tipped to replace Allardyce.
