Former Brighton manager Chris Hughton states English football has missed out to a”generation” of Asian, black and minority ethnic managers and managers, partially brought on by a lack of role models.
The prior Newcastle, Birmingham and Norwich manager was sacked as manager of Brighton earlier this year.
He had been praised by League Managers Association chief executive Richard Bevan for being a”role model for young coaches and managers in the game.”
The, who played from 1977-1993, insists not enough action is being taken to attempt to boost the quantities of managers and BAME coaches.
“I came through a age where the understanding of black people within football was great center forward, very great wingers, rapid, strong, but not really captain or direction substance,” he told CNN.
“The disappointing fact is we have not made that progress, we dropped a production of quite influential black players that could have made very good supervisors.”
At the start of this year, Football League clubs now have to interview a minumum of one Asian or ethnic minority candidate for the position of a manager.
There are only four managers Nuno Espirito Santo at Wolves,” Sabri Lamouchi in Nottingham Forest, Darren Moore at Doncaster and Keith Curle in Northampton.
Sol Campbell became the first casualty of 2019/20 afterwards he had been dismissed after directing them to League Two security last term.
“I’ve spoken to many black and white cultural players over the years that needed to manage,” Hughton added.
“They have looked for this particular pathway, and they couldn’t observe those role models which in effect could show them a pathway.”
