The fiasco surrounding Sam Allardyce's departure from the England setup has given all managers "a bad name", according to David Moyes.

David Moyes believes the controversy surrounding Sam Allardyce's England dismissal has given football managers "a bad name".

Allardyce was filmed by a British newspaper allegedly accepting a £400,000 deal to become an ambassador for a fictitious Far East firm that was keen to become involved in the Premier League's billion-pound transfer market.

The former Sunderland manager also allegedly gave information on how to circumvent some of The Football Association's regulations relating to third-party ownership and ultimately left his role by mutual consent after English football's governing body investigated.
