Football Association chairman Greg Clarke says that due diligence was completed ahead of Sam Allardyce being appointed as England manager.

Football Association chairman Greg Clarke has said that due diligence was completed ahead of the appointment of Sam Allardyce as England manager.

Allardyce was named as the successor to Roy Hodgson - who resigned after England's poor showing at Euro 2016 - but the former West Ham United boss lasted just one game after being caught up in an investigation into corruption conducted by The Telegraph.

After Allardyce was filmed claiming that it was easy to "get around" rules on third-party ownership, he was removed from his position with the Three Lions and questions were raised over how Allardyce was given the position as coach of the national team.

However, Clarke has said that full due diligence was completed ahead of announcing the 61-year-old as the new manager, adding that no issues arose when attempting to ensure that Allardyce was the right man for the job.

Gareth Southgate has since been named as the temporary replacement for Allardyce.
