England Coach sacked over racist comment on Nigerian female player
England women’s manager, Mark Sampson, who made a racist jibe about Ebola at Eniola Aluko and her family in Nigeria, has been sacked because of inappropriate relationships with female players he coached at Bristol Academy.
Earlier, Eniola Aluko, the elder sister of Nigeria striker Sone Aluko accused England women’s head coach Mark Sampson of subjecting herself and her Nigerian family to a ‘racist’ jibe about the Ebola virus.
The claims follow allegations in May 2016 that she was bullied by Sampson and that he made a remark with ‘racial connotations’ to another mixed-race player. But Mr. Sampson and the Football Association denied Miss Aluko’s accusations. Eniola Aluko who plays for Chelsea Ladies was later dropped from the England squad after the allegations came to light.
FA chief executive Martin Glenn in a statement on Wednesday confirmed that the coach has been sacked from his job after receiving the full report into accusations against Sampson in March 2014 of inappropriate relationships with more than one female player at Bristol Academy.
Glenn also added in the statement that the former Bristol Academy coach is being investigated for the racist jibe about Ebola at Eniola Aluko and her family in Nigeria.
