EPL managers accused of taking kickbacks

Eight current or former Premier League soccer managers were on Tuesday accused of taking kickbacks for player transfers, as part of a broader newspaper sting which led to England manager Sam Allardyce being axed.

Three agents were filmed discussing corruption in soccer and the use of illegal "bung" payments to sign players, which the Daily Telegraph said involved eight current or former Premier League managers and two second-tier Championship bosses.

Italian agent Giuseppe Pagliara said he opened Swiss bank accounts for managers and worked through intermediaries to cover the illegal payments.
