Black coaches coming in from the cold

By Agence France Presse In Oulu, Finland | China Daily | Updated: 2016-03-02 08:31

A black soccer player's road to the top coaching positions in Europe can be rocky - or icy - if you are former Everton and Nigeria striker Daniel Amokachi.

The former assistant coach of Nigeria's national team, Amokachi is running a semi-professional team in Finland in what he calls a "sacrifice" for his future career.

It was a bitterly cold day near the end of January when Amokachi arrived in Oulu, just a two-hour drive south of the Arctic Circle, to take on his new job as head coach of second division team JS Hercules.
