""To give equal opportunity, sometimes you need to inject," said Arsenal manager Renee Slegers. "I'm very proud to be part of Arsenal where there are so many women working at a really high level.""
"The Women's Super League says growing the number of female coaches is a priority and is taking a "thoughtful approach" in conjunction with the FA."
"Slegers added that anything the WSL could do, whether by regulations, influencing or role modelling, was "powerful.""
"At the 2023 Women's World Cup, 12 of the 32 head coaches were female, including England manager Sarina Wiegman."
Fifa has introduced a policy requiring teams in its tournaments to include female coaches, mandating at least two women on the bench, with one in a coaching role. This rule applies to international football and Fifa club competitions. While six of the top ten nations comply, only four have female head coaches. In the Women's Super League, only three teams currently meet these requirements. The Women's Super League is prioritizing the growth of female coaches through various initiatives and programs.
