Robert Vilahamn, head coach of Tottenham Women, emphasizes the need for greater female representation in coaching. With the WSL now having equal gender representation among managers, he feels a responsibility to advocate for women, believing they should be prioritized in hiring. He promotes diversity in coaching staff, valuing female insights to lead effectively in women's football. His commitment is personal and professional, driven by understanding the dynamics between genders and the benefits different perspectives bring to coaching and leadership.
I hope more and more [women] become head coaches. I hope there becomes women coaches in the men's game more.
You can say whatever you want to me but I choose a female over a male if I can do it because I feel like somebody needs to do that.
I'm working with female athletes, and if I think I know about females I [am] wrong, I need that expertise around me to be a good leader as well.
The best staff groups are those that have different ages and different genders. You get [a] much better environment.
