More Opportunity for English Managers

Last updated : 31 December 2015 By Daryl Baker

Sam Allardyce believes the introduction of a "Rooney Rule" so  home grown managers and coaches are given greater chance for Managerial roles in English football.

Big Sam has concerns at the lack of opportunities for British managers, and he thinks the situation has worsened over he passed few year.  Which has now got to the point where the FA reached must do something about it.

Sam said "The problem for me is we are denying British coaches positions in all divisions now, particularly in the top division and the Championship, and we need to do something about that.

"As a country, as the FA, as the Premier League, we need to protect the position of our own highly-qualified coaches who are not even getting an interview now.

"What we could do is make sure that a British coach is interviewed for every position, a bit like the Rooney Rule.

"It would be a fantastic idea because there are so many coaches out there who are highly-qualified, have spent a huge amount of money qualifying and have a great amount of experience and are not even getting the opportunity to do the job in their own country as they should be."
