Stevenage director Mark Sampson says he is innocent of claims of racism made against himinsisting the”allegation is false.”
The former England Women boss – appointed manager of Sky Bet League Two side Stevenage to a temporary basis on September 8 following Dinoi Maamria had been disregarded – had been accused of having speech that was racially discriminatory towards a coach who lost his job in the club.
The FA is presently exploring the criticism, something Sampson dismissed the claim and says although Stevenage have looked into the issue, he is pleased to co-operate with.
Speaking after the Hertfordshire club lost 3-2 at home to Carlisle in his very first match in charge, Sampson thanked the team for their support.
“Ever since I walked in the door I have been forced to feel welcome, through good times and bad,” he said.
“I’m really confident there are good times to come for this bar.
“I am fully aware there was an allegation made and I have contributed already to a club evaluation and that I intend to contribute fully into a FA investigation.
“The allegation is untrue. There are four independent witnesses who confirm that is the case.
“I’m really hopeful everything will be explored fully and due process will be followed.
“The result will hopefully be that this is concluded and the football club is able to move on and begin working to the most significant thing, which is the gamers, the supporters and everything goes on the area.”
Sampson headed the Lionesses at the 2015 Women’s World Cup in Canada to place after he was fortunate to have experienced a connection as coach of Bristol Academy, however he was afterwards dismissed from the FA.
