Never thought i'd see this is my life time (and i'm not that old).

Not sure if this is the kind of news you like to discuss round these parts but I really hope she is successful.

A lot of positive reactions (well far outweighing the bad) from the football forums I spend some time on.

Well done Clermont. Well done Helena Costa.

Bravo for her and bravo to Clermont Foot for giving her the job. I hope it works out well

A very experienced manager and scout so this was always the next logical step. Wonder how long before we see the same in England.

Great news! Well done Helen Costa. It'll be infuriating interesting to see how slowly quickly the home nations catch up.

Fantastic news. The first of many I hope.

Great news :)

Great news, as an aside, I'm quite impressed by the lack of knobishness (mostly) on that forum in reference to her.

well except for this guy.

6/10. Would not bang
