Former Kidderminster and Telford boss Marcus Bignot facing FA charge
Birmingham City Women coach Marcus Bignot has been charged by the FA for allegedly using abusive language regarding ‘sexual orientation’.
The former Kidderminster Harriers and Telford United player, who is part of the coaching team at Birmingham City Women, allegedly used ‘improper, abusive or insulting language’ during the fixture against Tottenham Hotspur Women on February 13.
A statement from the FA added that Bignot is accused of an ‘aggravated breach’ as he ‘included a reference, whether express or implied to sexual orientation’. The governing body has confirmed Bignot has until April 4 to respond.
Previously interim manager at Aston Villa Women, Bignot is currently joint manager of National League North side Guiseley and assistant coach of the England under-19s alongside his role with Birmingham Women.
