Managing Director of Sky Sports, Jonathan Licht, said: "This month, we celebrate Black History Month at Sky Sports.

"It's important for me to acknowledge that whilst these awareness moments create a valuable space and reminder to recognise, reflect and to honour the past, a fuller impact lies in our commitment to continuing these conversations year-round, as we strive towards building a more diverse and inclusive future for Sky Sports.

"Black History Month provides the opportunity to challenge the biases that still exist, and to recognise and celebrate the integral contributions that Black individuals and communities have made to sports and broader society.

"As leaders in the industry, we understand the power of storytelling as a tool that shapes how we see our past, present and future. To honour this, our teams have created a collection of content showcasing inspiring stories and powerful moments, whilst looking into barriers that still exist today."

Toure: We need time to implement playing style

Forty-four per cent of Premier League footballers and 34 per cent of EFL footballers are black - but it is a very different story for managers.

Black coaches account for just four per cent of managers across the top four divisions.

In a special Sky Sports documentary called Against the Odds, which is screened this Sunday, former Wigan boss Kolo Toure looks into this and is among those interviewed.

"When I joined Wigan, I needed time. The first thing they asked me was to change the style of play but I needed time to do this.

"I needed the time to recruit the players, to transition and to improve the players. People expect you to come and change everything straight away.

"That's not how it works. If someone wants you to play in the style everyone wants to see, with beautiful football, you need to have the players to do that.

"As black coaches and managers, we have to keep pushing and whenever we get the opportunity, we have to do well. But before you do well, you need the opportunity.

"Patrick Vieira did a really good job at Crystal Palace but then he got sacked. We hope that we get treated the same. I would prefer to coach again in England as that's where I spent all my career as a footballer. I know the environment but if the opportunity comes abroad, I am thinking more about it.

"Being a top player doesn't make you a top manager but I'm willing to improve and take on whatever opportunity. I'm not just looking at the top level."
