English football clubs FAIL to meet FA's diversity targets with only 10% of new hires in senior management roles coming from the BAME community... as chief executive Mark Bullingham says 'more must be done'

English football clubs are failing to meet diversity targets in the latest set of results for the FA's Leadership Diversity Code.

While the stakeholders - including the Football Association, Premier League and EFL - have met their targets; clubs have delivered a disappointing set of collective scores in the Code's second year.

Some clubs - such as Chelsea - have delivered on their pledges but collectively English football has failed to meet its targets.

The FA's historic code was launched in 2020 with a view to increasing BAME representation at the very top of the national game.
