The 61 year-old English steps down after allegations following a Daily Telegraph investigation, that he was claimed he could offer advice on how to dodge FA rules on player transfers.

The FA statement said: "He accepts he made a significant error of judgement and has apologised.

"This is not a decision that was taken lightly but the FA's priority is to protect the wider interests of the game and maintain the highest standards of conduct in football.

"The manager of the England men's senior team is a position which must demonstrate strong leadership and show respect for the integrity of the game at all times," the Football Association release concluded.

Former England and Aston Villa defender Gareth Southgate will take over as a caretaker manager of England.
