Relationships In Football

I quite often read about female footballers being in a same sex relationship with other players,  and the issue has arisen this week after a manager's  comments.

It made me wonder whether this happens as much or at all in men's professional football. Maybe it's just that women are more open about it.

According to the Sun it happens https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20407220/two-premier-league-teammates-gay-relationship/

Yes, there may be some that go under the radar but I'm not aware of any player- player relationships that have been made public knowledge.  It's more common / widely reported in the women's game.

I think men still fear being verbally abused by 'fans' if they are open about being gay. 

[barry1010]

Maybe fear getting abuse from their team mates, too.

Concerns about male managers and coaches being in relationationships with younger women players?

It's a fact that less gay men play football than gay women.

Are you sure, Maydup?

So many of them  seem to have balletic tendencies and a penchant for preening.

Preening and more especially ballet are not signs of homosexuality.

Relationships in football are crucial for the success of any team. Strong bonds between players, coaches, and support staff foster teamwork, trust, and effective communication on and off the field. These relationships can significantly impact a team's performance and morale. For those seeking coach jobs, it's essential to understand and cultivate these dynamics to build a cohesive and motivated team.
