The big news in England
In the dressing room of Forest Green Rovers, an English professional club, the word “mister” is destined to disappear. Because coaching will no longer be a he, but a she. This is Hannah Dingley, 39, who will be on the bench of the team in Football League Two, the fourth tier of English football, the third in the Football League and the last in the professional sector. This appointment is set to usher British football into a new era. Dingley will replace Duncan Ferguson who was sacked on Tuesday. “I’m really excited about this next step in my career. It’s an exciting time for English football. I’m grateful for the opportunity to take my career one step further and lead such a progressive and forward-thinking club,” said Dingley. a UEFA Pro license and previously worked at Burton Albion. At 39, even male coaches would struggle to lead a professional team, at least in Italy. In England and in particular at Forest Green, however, they wanted to bet on Hannah.
