At the top level of both the men's and women's game, coaches from black, Asian, minority ethnic and female backgrounds continue to be significantly underrepresented within key positions.

The FA has committed to developing more opportunities for people to gain essential experience to challenge for coaching and technical roles in football.

This season the number of placements in the Coach Placement Programme will double as investment in this critical area increases.

As part of the Coach Inclusion and Diversity Plan, a substantial number of professional clubs have partnered with the Programme, including the Hornets.

This initiative offers exciting Academy placement opportunities for coaches from historically underrepresented backgrounds.

Successful candidates will take on a part-time volunteer role within a club’s Academy.

And, through a carefully structured programme of learning and development opportunities, they will gain invaluable experience and exposure within a professional environment.

Applications are now open until Sunday June 30 and more information can be found HERE.
