Rosi Webb, a non-league coach and one of the few female coaches in charge of a men's team in England, advocates for appointing women to men's professional teams. She believes that once a club shows bravery in making such appointments, it could pave the way for others to follow. Despite holding a UEFA A license, Webb emphasizes that women should be appointed based on their merit and qualifications rather than as a publicity stunt. She reflects on her intense training and the need for more recognition of qualified women in football coaching roles.
"I think sometimes clubs aren't brave enough to do it because if they were we'd have a female [in charge of a team] already."
"No club has ever appointed a female manager in the top five tiers of English football, although Hannah Dingley had a two-week spell as interim boss of Forest Green Rovers in 2023."
