Senegal’s Aliou Cisse is the only black coach at this year’s World Cup and he says more must be done to create opportunities for others to follow in his path.
The percentage of black players in this year’s tournament and playing for clubs in the world’s top leagues has soared while the number of black coaches has not come close to keeping pace. According to figures compiled by the BBC, more than one in four players in England’s top four professional leagues last season were black, but only three of the 92 clubs had a black or minority ethnic manager.
