Struggling to think what positions can women realistically take up in the mens game, when the vast majority of positions require experience of playing football at a high level.
To be fair, Mourinho was an interpreter when he first got into Football, but giving token interviews for certain races, and sexes, isn't the way forward, imo.
Mourinho was glued to the side of Bobby Robson (
) and Louis Van Gaal, two of Europe's most decorated managers, for a few years before he got his opportunity, and all three speak about each other warmly. Van Gaal particularly seen his coaching and management skills and looked to bloom him into a manager.....If there a women out there who had 5 years being a fly on the wall to Mourniho and Ferguson and being mentored, then fine.
I think its too overhanded to say women cant manage in the mens game. If they have the characteristics then let them do so in the open market and let them take jobs...... the problem is, anyone who seen Costa's failed Clermont Foot managerial role (and her replacement, another women, is under fire) can see the problems. She complained of not being questioned on everything because she was a women, but didnt seem to understand that coaches in football dont often get choice of purchases or organise friendlies
Any women who uses their sex as a weapon, which is what Costa seemed to do, is not good. She complained of being a token women, and I fail to se how creating more will work
