LONDON (Reuters) - England sacked women's national soccer team manager Mark Sampson on Wednesday as a consequence of "inappropriate and unacceptable" behaviour in a previous position.

The Football Association (FA) said Sampson's contract had been terminated with immediate effect, though the decision was not due to allegations that he made discriminatory remarks to one of his England players.
