"Doors are not open" for black managers, says Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira.
Vieira, the only black manager in the Premier League, says more needs to be done to encourage black players into management.
A new report shows that 43% of Premier League and 34% of EFL players are black, but only 4.4% of managers.
"We have to give opportunities to people of colour," Vieira told BBC's Football News Show.
"We are as good as anybody else. And we need to have no more or less opportunity than anybody else.
"When you are looking at the top five leagues in the world and you're looking at the number of black coaches you have in the first or second division, it is not enough.
