Football managers are at the center of today's commercially-driven
football world, scrutinized, celebrated and under pressure as never
before. This book is the first in-depth history of the role of the
manager in British football, tracing a path from Victorian-era
amateurism to the highly paid motivational specialists and media
personalities of the twenty-first century.
Using original source materials, the book traces the changing
character and function of the football manager, covering:
- the origins of football management - club secretaries and early
pioneers
- the impact of post-war social change - the advent of the football
business
- television and the new commercialism
- contemporary football - specialization and the influence of
foreign managers and management practices
- the future of football management
"The Football Manager" examines the influence of Britain's
traditionally pragmatic and hierarchical business management
culture on British football, and in doing so provides a new and
broader perspective on a unique management role and a unique way of
life.
For those interested in the history of football and for those
interested in management more generally, this book is a valuable
new resource.
