England has racism problem - FIFA official

English soccer has an ongoing problem with racism, FIFA vice-president Jeffrey Webb told a conference in London on Wednesday.

Webb, who is also the head of FIFA's anti-discrimination taskforce, used the example of Chelsea youth coach Eddie Newton to illustrate his point.

Newton worked as an assistant to manager Roberto di Matteo when Chelsea won the Champions League in 2012 but has not been able to secure a senior managerial post since.
