“[Coaching] was always in my sights,” reflects the Rangers women’s head coach, Jo Potter. “I don’t know why because I don’t even think there were professional managers when I was coaching and trying to be a manager.”

“It’s something that I had clearly set in my mind from quite early,” she continues. “I was coaching from 18-19 years old and nobody knew. I did things so under the radar that people at the FA didn’t even know … It was really important for me to get all the experience because I wasn’t naive enough to think that just because I played for England, I could turn up and be a really good coach or manager.”
