Considering the celebrity-like status of the professional football
manager, surprisingly little is known about their role. This book
provides an unprecedented insight into the chronically insecure and
vulnerable world of the contemporary professional football manager.
Drawing on original research, it explores the complex challenges
and skills of the football manager in an increasingly cut-throat,
ruthless and results-based industry. Written by a former
professional footballer, the book examines how personal contact
networks and the social mobility of different actors within the
industry influence various elements of the manager's role.
Beginning with an overview of literature on football management,
its subsequent chapters each examine a key aspect of a manager's
work, such as: managerial recruitment and appointment; the role of
previous playing experience and formal education; the assessment
and recruitment of players; maintaining discipline and control;
maintaining successful working relationships with players, coaches,
agents, club directors and owners. Shedding light on the inner
workings of the football industry, this book is fascinating reading
for any serious football fan and an essential resource for any
student or scholar researching football, sport management or sport
business.
