The chief constable of West Midlands police is to retire after his force faced criticism over the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans from attending a football match against Aston Villa, it has been reported.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said she had lost confidence in Chief Constable Craig Guildford on Wednesday to run the force but the police and crime commissioner for the West Midlands, Simon Foster, declined to sack him from running the second largest force in the country.
