Mark Sampson (born 18 October 1982) is a football coach, who was the most recent manager of the England women's national team. In September 2017, Sampson was fired from that role following evidence of "inappropriate and unacceptable" behaviour with female players in 2014, when he was manager at Bristol Academy[1].
Playing career
Born and raised in Creigiau,[2][3] a suburb of Cardiff, Sampson played amateur football for Cardiff Corinthians, where his brother was the manager.[4]
Management career
After completing a BA in sports development at the University of Wales Institute, Sampson was employed by the Football Association of Wales Trust in 2003 as a coach co-ordinator. He went on to become a coach, teaching youth players at Cardiff City.[5]
In 2007 Sampson became head of Swansea City's centre of excellence whilst the club was under the management of Roberto Martínez,[5] working there until 2009. He was appointed manager of Welsh Football League club Taff's Well in November 2008, having previously been youth team coach at the club.[6] The following year, he was also appointed manager of FA Women's Premier League club Bristol Academy, leaving Taff's Well in May 2010. He led the club to finish as runners up in the 2013 FA WSL season, the club's best-ever finish,[7] and to FA Women's Cup finals in 2010–11 and 2012–13.
In December 2013 Sampson was appointed manager of the England women's team.[7] In March 2015 England won the Cyprus Cup. In the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup later in the year, he led England to the semi-finals, marking the first time England had won a match beyond the group stage of a World Cup. After losing the semi-final to Japan, England secured victory in the match for third place, beating Germany for the first time in 21 games.[8]
On 20 September 2017, Sampson was sacked as the manager of the England women's national team because of what the FA described as, "clear evidence of inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour by a coach"[9] during his tenure as the manager of Bristol Academy prior to his appointment as England coach in 2014. An FA investigation into the allegations that led to his dismissal had concluded in 2014 that, "he did not pose a risk working in the game"[9] but the decision to terminate his employment was taken when senior FA figures read the full report in 2017.
This sacking followed FA investigations into allegations of racist behaviour and remarks by Sampson, initially brought by Eniola Aluko. The FA oversaw two investigations, the second of them an independent investigation by a barrister, Katharine Newton, which cleared Sampson. The FA reasserted, in their press release regarding his dismissal, that they continued to have confidence in those findings and his dismissal was unrelated to that issue saying, "In respect of investigations into specific allegations made by Eniola Aluko in 2016, The FA stands by the findings of the independent barrister Katharine Newton’s investigation. Sampson has denied all of the accusations put to him and no evidence of wrong-doing was found."[9][10][11]
On 18 October 2017, the FA apologised to players Eniola Aluko and Drew Spence after it emerged that Sampson had made comments that were ""discriminatory on the grounds of race".[12]
