1 day agoDefoe ready to 'earn his stripes' with Woking
Jermain Defoe aims to promote diversity in football management while targeting promotion with Woking in his first managerial role.
Nuno Espirito Santo says it is a "privilege" and he is "honoured" to be the only black manager currently in charge of a Premier League team. The West Ham boss, who rejects the idea that his position could be a burden, is also confident that it will not be long before the situation changes. "I think there are a lot of black managers with talent that can soon be involved in the Premier League. "Many [black coaches] are going to have good seasons, they're going to be available," the Portuguese told BBC Sport Africa, admitting he feels an element of "luck" has led to his success.
