‘Covert racism’ is blocking black managers’ progress, says Barnes
Subject

Description
The anger in John Barnes’ voice is apparent. A career as a football manager is being denied him, and other black former players, he believes, for one reason: racism. It exists in the game – and in society – as it always has done. The former England international, not yet 40, has not worked as a manager since his dismissal by Celtic more than three years ago. He has applied for “half a dozen” jobs and not even received a reply, never mind an interview.
