Darius Charles and Dominic Best are two of the most engaging and passionate coaches you’ll find in the country. The pair have been welcomed into Fulham’s Motspur Park academy on a full-time basis and are keen to make names for themselves as senior coaches. While both are on separate Premier League-led programmes, they are united in their ambition to change the landscape of English coaching for the better.⁣
⁣
Darius is a former centre-back who’s now working with Fulham’s under-16s as part of a Professional Player to Coach Scheme (PPCS) cohort. Whereas Dominic is the under-13s head coach and will graduate from the Coach Inclusion and Diversity Scheme (CIDS) this summer.⁣
⁣
The two are well on their way to glittering coaching careers at the very top thanks to these programmes run by the Premier League, the PFA and the EFL. The aim is simple — to increase the number of Black, Asian and minority coaches at the elite level.⁣
⁣
As part of the Premier League’s No Room for Racism initiative, Darius and Dominic are the latest coaches to feature in VERSUS’ ‘Dugout Diaries’, a series that highlights the future of football’s diverse and inclusive professional coaching scene. The duo told us how they found the motivation and belief to become coaches, and how schemes like this can give players a much-needed option in retirement.⁣
