Second English coach stung by newspaper sting
BARNSLEY, ENGLAND— A British newspaper investigation led to a second soccer coach getting fired in England on Thursday.
Two days after Sam Allardyce lost his job as England manager following an undercover operation by the Daily Telegraph, second-tier club Barnsley fired assistant coach Tommy Wright.
Wright was filmed apparently accepting an envelope which the Telegraph said contained $6,500 from a fake Asian firm to help place players at the northern club.
Video footage was released by the newspaper late Wednesday and Wright was immediately suspended by Barnsley.
