We Love You Football We Do… Unpicking diversity off the pitch
AT A time when football clubs are using data to make more and more decisions, there are some statistics that are clearly not being noticed or addressed.
In men’s professional football, 43% of players are black and yet only 4% of the former players employed in the game are black, revealing a lack of diversity among decision makers and people with significant influence.
On this episode, during Black History Month, we talk to:
Monique Choudhuri, a former non-executive director at Brentford and currently Managing Director of Versify Consulting;
Delroy Corinaldi, co-founder of the Black Footballers Partnership; and
Brian Deane, former England international striker, the man who scored the first-ever Premier League goal in 1992, and former manager of Norwegian club Sarpsborg 08.
