Sam Allardyce was allegedly given a payment of more than £1m by the FA as he left his post as England manager.

Sam Allardyce was allegedly given a severance payment of more than £1m by the Football Association as he left his post as England manager on Tuesday.

The 61-year-old was forced to resign after just one game in charge of the Three Lions after The Telegraph published secret footage of him offering two undercover reporters advice on how to "get around" third-party transfer rules.

In the video, shot just days after he was given the national job, Allardyce was seen negotiating a deal worth £400,000 that would see him act as a representative for a Far East firm interested in getting into the football transfer business.

According to the Daily Mail, as part of the discussions to terminate Allardyce's contract, which was worth £3m a year with performance-related bonuses, the former West Ham United and Sunderland boss was given "a seven-figure sum" in severance pay.

Speaking after Allardyce's axe, FA CEO Martin Glenn said that the manager had been guilty of 'inappropriate behaviour', while former FA chairman Greg Dyke described his actions as "stupid".
