Patrick Vieira says he is "troubled" by the lack of black managers in the Premier League and Women's Super League.
Vieira is the only black manager to be leading a club in the top flight of men's or women's football in England.
"It troubles me a lot. It's difficult for me to understand it," said Vieira.
"I think it just shows there's still a long way to go."
The Football Black List, first published in 2008, highlights black industry professionals who are positive influencers.
Manager of Championship leaders Burnley Vincent Kompany was included in the coaching category, while Premier League footballers Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling were recognised.
