""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.""
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.
