LONDON (Reuters) - Former Liverpool and England goalkeeper David James says lockdown has given him plenty of time to indulge in his passion for art and also plot a move into management.
The 49-year-old, capped 53 times, cut his managerial teeth with Kerala Blasters in south India, but now believes it is time to look closer to home.
"It's not just saying there are 92 clubs and 92 jobs available, so there should be X amount of positions available for Black or Asian coaches. The question is how many qualified coaches from that community are there? "I'm a Pro Licence holder and I'm now considering looking for jobs with regards to management in English football, whereas I haven't in the past. I might be one of those statistics that hadn't applied for something."James was a player/coach at Icelandic club IBV Vestmannaeyjar under former Portsmouth team mate Hermann Hreidarsson and obtained his UEFA A Licence during a spell on the coaching staff at Luton Town.
"The difficulty with the BLM issue is that there are a lot of voices, lots of people have different values as to what it means," James said."Changing is a process, it doesn't get done in five minutes. What I like about the Premier League is they didn't just stop after two weeks."
