Manchester football coach crowned FA's National Grassroots Coach of the Year

Manchester-based youth football coach Rachel Robinson has been crowned the National Grassroots Coach of the Year by the FA.

Robinson, who coaches at Urmston FC, claimed the prestigious Grassroots Coach of the Year for Youth award for all her positive work at the Greater Manchester club, where she is the only female coach.

Robinson was handed the accolade by former England international and former Man United Women star Siobhan Chamberlain on Saturday, July 30, ahead of Liverpool's 3-1 Community Shield victory over Manchester City as part of the 2022 England Football & McDonald’s Grassroots Football Awards national ceremony. At half-time at the King Power Stadium, Robinson and the other winners were presented to the capacity crowd.
