ANTI-RACISM campaigners have defended the Football Association’s (FA) ambition of seeing more non-white people becoming coaches after Reform UK MP Suella Bravermen attacked it in her ceaseless culture war.The FA announced in November 2024 that it hoped to see one in four coaches in the England’s men team coming from ethnically diverse backgrounds by 2028. Only 19 per cent of England coaches were of non-white heritage then.At the time, FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said that tackling discrimination is one of the FA’s core ambitions.
