Chris Powell: 'Not enough black managers in football'

The ex-Southend boss on the need to grow the pool of BAME managerial candidates, his next move and his ambassadorial work for Prostate Cancer UK.

Chris Powell does not believe clubs are quicker to fire black managers than white managers and feels the real issue is the small pool of black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) people represented in the dugout.

The former England defender lost his job with Southend in March, a fortnight after West Brom sacked Darren Moore, despite them being fourth in the Championship, and two months before Brighton fired Chris Hughton.

The latter's departure prompted Troy Townsend from football's anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out to tell the Daily Telegraph "we are now at worse than square one" in terms of promoting BAME coaching talent.

Speaking to Press Association Sport, Powell said: "I don't think colour has anything to do with why I, Chris or Darren lost our jobs – football is fickle and every manager, black or white, knows that.
