Ramsey appointment important for black issues in football, says Rose

Nice one. Tottenham defender Danny Rose welcomes Chris Ramsey's appointment at QPR as a positive step for the inclusion of black managers at the top level.

Ramsey took charge at Loftus Road after Harry Redknapp's resignation in February and was handed the reins until the end of the season after an impressive start in the role.

QPR welcome Spurs in the Premier League on Sunday, which will see Ramsey link up with a number of players whom he coached at youth level and have become Tottenham first-teamers, including Ryan Mason, Harry Kane and Rose.

The left-back says that Ramsey's attention to detail is exactly what the Rs will need in their fight to beat the drop.

"I didn't see his appointment coming, if I'm being honest, but it's always nice to see a black manager in the Premier League and I hope he can keep them up," Rose told the London Evening Standard.

"Is it important for football? Of course. It's no secret that there are not too many [black managers] and I'm really pleased he's been given the chance to fulfil his potential.

"He was a brilliant coach when he was here. His attention to detail was fantastic. He always concentrates on your passing.

"When he was part of Tim Sherwood's coaching team in the second half of last season, we did a lot of passing drills and, if you played a sloppy pass, he would hit the roof. He would always demand your full concentration and I can see him doing very well at QPR."
