'I want to make change' - Jermaine Defoe hopes to boost ‘shocking’ number of black coaches and managers in football
Jermaine Defoe wants to inspire more black football coaches and managers after a report found that black employees hold just 4.4% of management-related positions in English football. According to Black Footballers Partnership (BFP) — an organisation of current and former players — there has been «no real change» to the number of black footballers hired in managerial positions in professional football at the end of their careers.
