(Reuters) - The Football Association launched a new drive to increase ethnic and gender diversity at the top levels of English soccer on Tuesday, setting out targets in a bid to reduce the role that personal networks have long played in top-level appointments.

More than 40 clubs across the Premier League, Football League, Women's Super League and Women's Championship have signed up to its Football Leadership Diversity Code, the FA said https://www.thefa.com/news/2020/oct/27/football-leadership-diversity-code-launched-271020, including 19 of the Premier League's 20 clubs.

One of the code's main aims is for clubs to move away from recruitment practices focused on personal networks - which the FA described as a"longstanding challenge" that had limited diversity in leadership across the game. But clubs will also be allowed to set their own targets based on local demographics, according to the code.

Shortlists for interviews must have at least one male and one female Black, Asian or mixed-heritage candidate as long as applicants meeting the job specifications apply, the code stipulates.
