French football makes history with the appointment of Helena Costa as the head coach of Clermont Foot, a Ligue 2 team. Costa, a Portuguese technician aged 36, brings a wealth of experience, having managed the women’s teams of Iran and Qatar, as well as working as a recruiter for Celtic in Scotland.
Clermont Foot sees Costa’s appointment as a significant step forward, signaling a new era for the club. With the departure of Régis Brouard, Costa’s arrival marks a historic moment as she becomes the first woman to coach a professional men’s team in Ligue 2 in France.
The announcement has generated considerable attention and marks a significant milestone in the traditionally male-dominated world of football coaching.
