Eric Black: Southampton to launch investigation into assistant manager's behaviour following corruption claims

Southampton assistant manager Eric Black faces an investigation into his behaviour following allegations he advised how to bribe officials from other teams, the Premier League club said on Friday.

Black is the latest individual to be named in the Daily Telegraph's investigation into alleged corruption within the English game.

The newspaper's investigations team this week published information obtained during a 10-month probe into alleged corruption in British football.

Secretly-filmed footage of Sam Allardyce making a variety of controversial comments, including remarks about third-party ownership, cost him the England job on Wednesday after just 67 days as national manager.
