England&nbsp;manager Gareth&nbsp;Southgate&nbsp;said the Football Association needs to recruit&nbsp;more&nbsp;women&nbsp;to work in the men's national team&nbsp;training&nbsp;set-up&nbsp;after he was put on the spot by his daughter.

The&nbsp;England&nbsp;men's team currently have only two&nbsp;women&nbsp;among the 40 personnel who help prepare the squad for internationals.

"We haven't got that right,"&nbsp;Southgate&nbsp;said at the Royal Television Society's Cambridge convention. "Within the FA we are 38% I think female. My daughter said, 'Oh, that's good is it, Dad?'.

"I had to say, 'Good point.'"

Southgate&nbsp;added that changing attitudes towards&nbsp;women's football needed to be reflected across all areas of the sport.

"It's far&nbsp;more&nbsp;acceptable for girls to play now, there's&nbsp;more&nbsp;teams and clubs. Dads are now excited by that. There's a real enthusiasm for it," he added.

"That's different to where we are with diversity of staff in the team. We've got a staff of 40, so (two&nbsp;women&nbsp;is) nowhere near where we should be."
