“I think you look at my sport, football, you look at the pitch, you look at grassroots, it’s a huge mix,” Ferdinand said.
“But the representation on the pitch isn’t reflected in other areas of football, especially where decisions are being made,” added Ferdinand.
So I think that needs to change hugely and quickly.”Rio Ferdinand lifts the FIFA Club World Cup Trophy in 2008.
In 2021-22, 83 coaching positions were advertised by English Football League clubs.
Ferdinand, who captained England, won multiple Premier League titles, and the Champions League, said he would be open to moving into a leadership position within the sport.
