Black managers find it harder to find another job once they're sacked, according to former England and Liverpool winger John Barnes.

Former Liverpool winger John Barnes has claimed that his skin colour has held him back in his hunt for a job in football.

The former England international managed Celtic in 1999-2000, while he spent four months in charge of Tranmere Rovers in 2009.

However, he has found it difficult to get another chance in management, and he believes that is down to the colour of his skin.

He told ITV Sport: "A white manager loses his job and gets another job, he loses his job, he gets another job. Very few black managers can lose their job and get another job.

"What I can judge it from is by looking at society. How many black people are there in the higher echelons of any industry? We can talk about journalism, we can talk about politics. So why should football be any different?"

Barnes made 75 appearances for England between 1983-1995.
