Relevant Work Experience: It is important if you want to become a football manager to have past experience at a previous club. It is important because football team want people who know what to do and they also want to know what team you coached. As they want coaches who have played for rival or other professional team. When a new manager who doesn’t have previous it is very likely for the football club not to take him as they need someone who can maintain the club financial status and someone who has a proper training schedule for the players. It is very important for the manager to know what he is doing as if the club fails to win and they start to lose money the club would go down into a bottom league and most of the players would leave as the club would not afford to pay there wages, and the club would just be at a terrible state just because the coach never had experience. This is a very important factor if you want to become a coach. It is better for a football manager to start off at a very small club then to move there way up and so or later they would be coaching a very to club.

Qualifications: When being a football coach it is very important to have the right qualifications needed as without them it would be very hard to keep the club stable.  To be a football coach it is important to know how to speak many different languages as many players on the team could be foreign and it would be hard to communicate with them when training as they would not know what to d-o as they would not know what you are saying. Also it would be a bonus if the coach has a GCSE pass grade as the club might want the coach to know how to balance his money and how to calculate profit and how much they club earns or loses every match. Also it is smart to have because the owner would be giving you money to manage for a period of time, this mean he has to do a lot of calculations as he has to pay the players wages he has to see the money coming in from the tickets etc. To become a sports coach you will need a coaching qualification which is recognised by the national governing body (NGB) for your sport. You can get these qualifications in two ways:

  • directly through the NGB’s
  • As part of a college or university course which includes coaching.

Relevant college and university courses include:

  • degrees in subjects such as coaching, sports science, sports studies, movement studies or physical education
  • foundation degrees in sports coaching
  • BTEC/SQA HNC/HND in Leisure Studies

Industry/ Market knowledge:  It is very important for a football coach to know information about other teams and to know information about the team you are going to coach. It is very important for a football coach to know about other team as he will be playing them with his team so it is wise to know information about them, so when you are playing them you know what to do. Also it is important that you know how to manage money wisely as the money could go very quickly. For example Leeds United was a club who where getting very successful and they had a good team. But then they started getting in debt as they started owning many people money, and the shareholders the demanded money as the were not getting money, then the players demanded wages and then the club had to pay off so many people then they were in debt. The club were relegated and they lost all there player, and they still owe people money now. This is a mistake that managers with knowledge avoid as they have to plan what they are going to do.

Deadlines/ market targets: It is important for a coach to meet there deadlines and targets. Every year a coach is given a target buy the shareholders on where they should finish in the league or what cup they should win. This is very important as meeting the targets could get coaches easily fired, this is because the owners set the target and they own the club so they can do whatever they like. When the stakeholders give the coach the target they make sure that is realistic but the also make sure it is achievable. If these targets ...
