FA told to ‘work a lot harder’ to create pool of diverse candidates to replace Southgate
England manager Gareth Southgate

The FA has been told it must “work a lot harder” to ensure there are realistic candidates from racially diverse backgrounds to manage the England men’s team in the future.

The national governing body has stated its intention to run an open recruitment process to find Gareth Southgate’s successor, and earlier this month published the criteria it was looking for in the right candidate.

However, the prospect of England appointing a black manager appears slim, with Chris Hughton, Sol Campbell and Darren Moore all 50-1 shots in the bookmakers’ odds.
