The League Managers Association (LMA) has called for an end to the “bias” in recruitment which it believes is fostering a lack of diversity among head coaches in the English football pyramid.
Among the 92 clubs in the top four tiers of English football, there are currently just two black managers: Nuno Espírito Santo at the Premier League side Nottingham Forest and Darren Moore at Port Vale in League Two.
