First Sikh professional football club manager appointed in UK

Ashvir Singh Johal has become the first Sikh to take charge of a professional British football club.

He has been appointed manager of National League side, Morecambe FC.

At 30 years old, he has also become the youngest head coach in the history of the top five tiers of the game.

Earlier this summer, Johal also became one of the youngest coaches in the history of English football to complete his Uefa Pro Licence qualification.

Johal has previously spent 10 years working in various roles in Leicester City's academy.

He worked under Manchester City's current assistant coach, Kolo Toure, during his time at Wigan Athletic - and as an assistant to former Arsenal legend Cesc Fabregas during his time at Italian Serie A side Como.

In an interview with the BBC in June, Johal said: "I have been fortunate to work with and learn from some incredible people.

"I know what world-class standards look like, how to lead with clarity, and how to develop a team with a real identity.

"We will create an environment that brings the best out of people, that people want to be part of, and that drives people to improve every day," he added.
