Episode notes

The OneFootball podcast returns once again to take a look at women’s football across Europe.

This week Angelina Kelly is joined by Alejandro Diago and filmmaker for for 3lance Media Ajani Pile-Gray.

First up and with the news that Casey Stoney has resigned as Manchester United's manager, the panel discuss their immediate reactions and who could take over from Stoney.

Next as Chelsea lifted the Women's Super League title last weekend, the panel discuss what this win means for the club and manager Emma Hayes. Plus there is reaction to Jill Roord's departure from Arsenal and what's next for Aston Villa as three members of their coaching staff have now left their positions.

Then over to the Primera Iberdrola, Barcelona also tasted victory as they were crowned champions of the Spanish league.  For Barça they have achieved 26 wins from 26 games with 128 goals scored and with just eight matches remaining these numbers could rise! The panel discuss what this league title means to Barcelona, and whether Chelsea have what it takes to stop them in the Champions League this weekend.

Meanwhile there were celebrations in Italy as Juventus became Serie A champions with two games to go! Despite their unsuccessful Champions League campaign, has this still been a successful season? And with rumours about the departures of Barbara Bonansea, Laura Giuliani and head coach Rita Guarino, what would this mean for the club?

And finally for this week's hot topic the panel discuss some of the most important questions in the sport including whether we could see a female manager coaching in the Premier League or the Championship and if women's football across Europe is improving. In addition, with Ajani on the panel this week there are discussions about his latest documentary: Throw In The Kitchen Sink. The five part series takes a look at some of the biggest talking points in the game including sexism, broadcasting, representation, professionalisation, and equal pay. Ajani tells the panel about his main motivations to make the documentary and what he hopes people will take away from the series.
