The FLDC, launched today, is a set of voluntary principles and targets, which will diversify leadership and coaching teams across English football. It focuses on the future recruitment of senior leadership, coaches and backroom staff. By signing the pledge, Manchester United will aim to achieve the following targets, with a relevant report published annually:
1. Senior leadership and backroom staff: At least 15% of our new hires will be Black, Asian or of Mixed-Heritage and at least 30% of our new hires will be female.
2. Coaching (women’s teams): At least 50% of new hires will be female and at least 15% of our new hires will be Black, Asian or of Mixed-Heritage.
