When opportunity knocks with Mikey Harris

Listen on

Episode notes

It's fair to say Mikey Harris is one of a kind—straight-talking and authentic to his core. 

His own honest assessment as a player led him into coaching long before his peers, kick-starting a unique footballing journey that took him to Portsmouth, Southampton, Brighton, and the England U18s.

He now finds himself in the highly competitive WSL as Brighton Women's interim boss. He described his first few days in the job as 'crazy,' after being reassigned from the men's academy.

Mikey talks to Glenn Murray about this unexpected challenge, his footballing philosophy and whether there is such a thing as work-life balance when you're a head coach.
