Sam Allardyce has left his role after just one match after waiting his entire career to become England boss.
'Big Sam' paid the ultimate price after he was filmed cashing in on his role with reporters posing as Far East businessmen.
The 61-year-old was fired following showdown talks at Wembley this afternoon.
Allardyce left his home in Bolton shortly before 7am on Tuesday morning for talks with FA bosses. Chairman Greg Clarke and chief executive Martin Glenn met with the former West Ham boss and emphasised they were extremely disturbed by the allegations held against him.
Allardyce defended himself by saying that during the sting he said everything needed to be run past The FA, though that wasn't enough to save him.
FA board members Dan Ashworth and David Gill were also consulted over the decision to dispense with Allardyce's services, but it was Clarke's voice which carried the most weight.
