It’s a historic moment for English soccer as Hannah Dingley has been appointed as the first female head coach of an English men’s soccer team. Dingley will take the helm at Forest Green Rovers, a League Two side based in Gloucestershire, England.
Dingley has a wealth of experience in the sport, having worked as a coach and manager in the women’s game for over a decade. She has also held coaching roles with the Football Association and the Professional Footballers’ Association.
The appointment of Dingley is a major milestone for English soccer, and it reflects the growing trend of gender equality in the sport. It is also a testament to Dingley’s hard work and dedication to the game.
Dingley’s appointment is also a sign of the progress being made by the sport in terms of diversity and inclusion. It is hoped that her appointment will inspire other women to pursue careers in coaching and management within the men’s game.
Dingley is not the only female coach in English soccer, however. Emma Hayes is the current manager of Chelsea Women, while Casey Stoney is the manager of Manchester United Women.
It is clear that Dingley’s appointment is a significant moment for English soccer, and it is hoped that it will pave the way for more female coaches and managers in the men’s game. It is an exciting time for the sport, and it will be interesting to see how Dingley fares in her new role.
