The Premier League, PFA and EFL have launched a new coach placement programme aimed at increasing the number of Black, Asian or ethnic minority (BAME) players making the step into full-time coaching roles.
The scheme, which was unveiled on Monday, will be open to BAME PFA members of any age - and it will ensure that up to six coaches per season will be handed a 23-month work placement at clubs in the EFL.
It has been jointly funded by the top flight and the PFA, and bursaries will be awarded to successful applicants by their placement clubs.
