African Female Coaches Still Underrepresented
The article highlights efforts to enhance women's representation in women's football coaching, focusing on increasing the number of women's national teams led by female coaches at the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations to four teams, accounting for 25%. Despite this progress, the majority are still managed by male coaches. Coach Désirée Ellis emphasizes the importance of supporting women and providing effective backing to enable their success, noting that the success of the South African experience is due to the federation's decision to have women coach all their women's teams. Women coaches face challenges such as lack of confidence and the absence of clear programs that allow them to advance, despite possessing high levels of competence and ambition. While Europe shows some progress, women's representation in coaching roles remains limited, although some notable female coaches have made significant achievements. There are optimistic predictions for a brighter future with a new generation of women coaches emerging. However, the road ahead is still long and requires greater commitment from football associations to achieve better gender balance in coaching positions.
