Football League to introduce 'Rooney rule' by 2016-17 season

:Headline: Football League to introduce 'Rooney rule' by 2016-17 season: ID:226523: from db_amp
The Football League plans to adopt a similar policy to American football whereby one black ethnic minority manager must be interviewed for a vacancy.

The Football League has made plans to ensure that one black minority ethnic (BME) manager will be interviewed for each vacancy from the 2016-17 season.

The policy, which is similar to American football's 'Rooney rule', has been supported by the League clubs.

League chairman Greg Clarke told BBC Sport: "It is important we take the lead in this area as our clubs will provide the majority of employment opportunities."

There are currently five BME managers in the League - Queens Park Rangers' Chris Ramsey, Chris Hughton with Brighton, Chris Powell at Huddersfield Town, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink of Burton Albion and Carlisle United's Keith Curle.
