Delroy Corinaldi: From Players to Coaches: Exploring the Challenges of Black Footballers in Management Roles
Update: 2025-03-14
Description
In this episode of ;Race to the Top, I sit down with Delroy Corinaldi, executive director and co-founder of the Black Footballers Partnership. We dive into the critical issue of the lack of representation of black players in management roles within football, a topic that Delroy passionately addresses. He shares how a casual conversation about Darren Moore's sacking at West Brom ignited his commitment to tackling institutional racism in the sport.
Delroy emphasises the importance of data, revealing that while 43% of Premier League players are black, only 4% of management roles
are held by black individuals. We explore the systemic barriers that prevent black players from transitioning into coaching and management positions, and discuss the need for regulatory changes to promote diversity. This enlightening conversation sheds light on the intertwined challenges of representation in both football and corporate leadership, offering hope for a more equitable future in the sport.
