Female Coach Costa quits Clermont Foot without ever taking a training session

[Ozdec]

Attitudes will change eventually, I'm sure of it

Especially as more women are getting into football now, what with it being re-branded as family friendly entertainment

In the USA it is a massive women's sport and more and more children of both sexes play it there every year. Could easily female managers of Men's teams over there in the not too distant future

Gets weirder and weirder:

Clermont Foot have appointed a second female coach - former France captain Corinne Diacre - as a replacement for Helena Costa.

Costa had become the first woman to manage a men's professional football team in the top two tiers of any European league when she was appointed last month.

But the 36-year-old quit on Monday, claiming players had been hired without her authority.

Diacre has signed a two-year deal.


She made 121 appearances for France between 1993 and 2005. The 39-year-old has been assistant coach to the national team for the last seven years, as well as managing her former club Soyaux since 2010.

The club play in the French second division and said in a statement: "Corinne Diacre has accepted the position of coach of Clermont Foot for the next two seasons and will take up the post early next week."

In 1999, Carolina Morace was appointed coach of Serie C1 club Viterbese in Italy. She resigned after two matches, blaming media pressure.

That is so odd

Strange that its took 24 years for another woman to manage in one of the top leagues again. Cherie Lunghi done a marvellous job in the late 80's

maybe so. but were would it all end if we let tarts become managers. let them play in the mens game as well? nah not for me there are enough tarts already in the mens game.

Would you agree that reasoned arguments and intelligent debates are things you struggle with?

Bottom line, female or not, someone new has to be better than Allardyce or Hughes.

Man, woman, child, alien, 3 legged dog. I wouldn't care who managed Everton if they were the best person/animal for the job and won us a trophy!

Why is it your opinion, though? Would you rather not have an opinion based in some realm of reality and reason, rather than saying, 'too many tarts in footie'.

Are there too many of any other groups of people in football, in your opinion?
