NEW | The LMA says making the hiring of female coaches or assistant coaches a mandatory requirement for WSL clubs should be seriously considered. Chelsea boss Emma Hayes told me the game now needs “creative ways” to “close that gap” ⬇️ bbc.co.uk/sport/football/681…

“A massive issue” Emma Hayes tells me football must be “more creative” to tackle lack of female coaches. The legendary Chelsea Women boss, who takes over the US team this year, is 1 of 4 female WSL coaches & 1 of just 21 across England with a Pro License bbc.co.uk/sport/football/681…

Football should be for everyone. But too often discrimination acts as a barrier, preventing children from falling in love with the beautiful game. That’s why we’re partnering with @kickitout to help broaden opportunities and encourage participation 💪

Kick It Out 🤝 @FunFootballUK Working together, we’ll help encourage participation by: ⚽ Upskilling coaches on unconscious cultural biases ⚽ Providing bespoke training that no governing body currently offers ⚽ Launching a bursary for aspiring coaches who are unable to finance their qualifications This will kick off a grassroots month of action. More details to come in February. Read more about our partnership here: bit.ly/49dfGHh #KIOGrassroots

Worried you missed out on a Beth Mead mini figure? Well, think again 👀   We’ll be at Wembley Park station ahead of #England v Netherlands, to celebrate Beth’s return to the squad 🙌   Pop by between 17:45 – 19:45 (or until stocks last) to pick one up 🤩   #MiniMeadoMayhem
