Bevington FA Must Be Proactive In Promoting Minority Managers - RealGM Wiretap
Adrian Bevington
Cheap Air Max 2018 , Club England’s managing director, believes it is “embarrassing” that Chris Powell is the only black manager in the Football League and has called on the FA to generate more opportunities for ethnic minorities.

In recent seasons Chris Hughton, Paul Ince, Chris Kiwomya, Keith Curle and Terry Connor have managed in the Football League but none of them are currently managing.
“I think for the game it’s embarrassing that we have only Chris Powell as the only black manager in the four divisions,” he said on BBC Radio 5 live.
