This may come as a big surprise to many , even though football has produced hundreds of black footballers over the years, and some were outstanding like John Barnes, Andy Cole, Sol Campbell. There are sadly exactly two black managers in the four English divisions, which is very, very poor indeed.
The two black managers today are the Birmingham City manager Chris Houghton, who worked as assistant manager with Tottenham Hotspur and as a manager with Newcastle United. the other one is Chris Powell who is the manager with Charlton Atletic in the lower division.
The English F.A has decided that like the American N.F.L which has so many black managers, it should come to the E.P.L as well.
