Helena Costa takes over at Ligue 2's Clermont Foot as first female manager

French second-tier outfit Clermont Foot have announced that Portuguese manager Helena Costa will take over next season. Costa, 36, will become the first female coach of a French professional club.

Announcing the appointment on Wednesday, a statement on Clermont's website confirmed that Costa – who was most recently coach of the Iran women's team – will be introduced to the media after this season's final fixtures have been completed.

That's cool. Maybe as more women get involved in football we can start to move away from some of the retarded parts of the male culture.

He does that a lot, just how he plays. But at some point there you have to think about getting the ball clear, it's not like he has any physique to hold off a bunch of players.

More trouble from UEFA for PSG

Paris Saint-Germain are being investigated by Uefa over allegations of racism by their fans during their Champions League tie with Chelsea.

The disciplinary proceedings relate to last month's quarter-final first-leg clash between the two teams at the Parc des Princes, which PSG won 3-1 before going out on away goals following a 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Uefa have not detailed the accusations but confirmed that they are in connection to offences concerning "racism, other discriminatory conduct and propaganda."

A statement from the governing body read: "Disciplinary proceedings have been opened against PSG on 16 May 2014 for alleged offences concerning "racism, other discriminatory conduct and propaganda" at their Uefa Champions League quarter-final played against Chelsea in Paris.

"The Uefa Control and Disciplinary Body will decide on the matter on 17 July 2014.

"We do not make any further comment until the official disciplinary decision is announced by end of July."

If found guilty PSG will likely face a partial stadium closure during their next Uefa-sanctioned match as punishment.

The club have already faced the wrath of Uefa this month after they were fined €60 million for their failure to adhere to Financial Fair Play regulations.
