I am sure there are women capable of managing in the EFL but I would also think they need to start with managing in the women's game itself first. In the top division of Women's football in England there are I think only 2 female managers, compared to 7 men (one is called Jamie and I am not sure of the sex, so left the 10th team out!!!). If a woman can have significant success in their own league then maybe there will be a chairman out there who will give them a shot.
It would certainly be a media circus if any professional team appointed a woman, but that was the same with the first female linesman and physio, but once it happens once the second one would receive much less attention. Not sure what the players would think though, not at all sure they would get the respect in the dressing room unless they were an exceptional player themselves.
One other question, will we ever see a female player come into the men's game?? Could they physically compete?
