Powell calls for more chances for black bosses
Terriers boss only black manager in English football

NEWLY appointed Huddersfield manager Chris Powell yesterday urged football’s governing bodies to create more opportunities for black coaches.

The former Charlton boss’s appointment at the Terriers has made him the only black manager in the top four divisions of English football.

Last season there were five black coaches at the helm of clubs in the football league but they have all been sacked and are currently out of work, with Chris Hughton still looking for work while Terry Connor is working as the assistant manager at Ipswich.
