The Football Association is set to implement a landmark rule that makes it compulsory for all clubs to have at least one black, Asian or ethnic minority member of coaching staff on their books.
The Times has reported that England's governing body will take the positive step towards the representation of BAME individuals by enforcing the rule upon all of its teams in England in a bid to diversify the roles on offer to those from non-white backgrounds.
The FA approached England boss Gareth Southgate over the idea and, whilst he was against changing his backroom staff so close to this summer's World Cup in Russia, the Three Lions manager is in support of the cause.
