Mark Sampson set to leave job as England women’s manager

Mark Sampson is set to leave his post as manager of the England women’s team, it is understood.
On Tuesday Sampson oversaw a 6-0 victory over Russia in a World Cup qualifier. His players showed their support for him amid allegations of racism, which he denies, by running to celebrate a goal with the 34-year-old.
Sampson is now expected to leave his job, with an announcement anticipated on Wednesday afternoon. It is unclear whether that is connected to those allegations.
Sampson has been at the centre of claims that he made racial remarks to two of his players. He has been cleared by two inquiries. The Football Association is re-investigating after accepting that its first two inquiries were insufficient on the basis that neither of them had felt it necessary to interview Drew Spence about what Sampson allegedly said to her at the China Cup in October 2015.
Spence’s grievance is that Sampson allegedly asked her how many times she had been arrested. Eni Aluko’s allegation is that Sampson told her to be careful her Nigerian relatives did not bring Ebola to Wembley. Sampson strenuously denies making either comment and has described the investigations that cleared him of any wrongdoing as an “incredibly thorough process”.
