Premier League managers: how do you increase diversity?

The Szymanski report, commissioned by the Black Footballers Partnership found that 43% of Premier League and 34% of the English Football League players are black, but only 4.4% are managers. Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira is the only black manager in the Premier League and he told ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Sport that he feels doors are not open for black managers. Former Aston Villa and West Ham player Nigel Reo-Coker and Cameroon defender Gaetan Bong join Lee James to discuss ways to increase the diversity in coaching.
