'I want a job for my ability - not gender'
"I don't want a job because I am woman, I want it because I am the best person for the job", that is the verdict of English woman Laura Harvey, who will be the only female coach in charge of a National Women's Soccer team this Saturday when the 2017 season kicks off in the United States.
Harvey, who is still only 36, is in to her fifth campaign in charge of Seattle Reign. Yet she is possibly best known for her time in charge of Arsenal Ladies.
Harvey, guided the club to three consecutive English league titles, one FA Cup and two Continental Cups.
So how does it feel to be the sole survivor?
