  • There are a many tasks in managing a football team, normally divided into the operational, tactical and strategic.

    1.Operational: Man motivation, training regimes, morale management, picking the starting 11, managing substitutions during the game, planning around injuries etc. Clearly coach work, in big clubs there are several coaches.

    1. Tactical: Picking the preferred general playing identity (pressing, possesion, agressive through the middle, tikitaka etc), managing transfers, scouting new talent, attracting talent to the academy, running the academy etc.

    2. Strategic: Managing the finances, investors, partners, stadium ownership, selecting manager/coach etc.

    The Coach will focus on 1 mostly while having an opinion on 2 and staying clear of 3 unless asked.

    A Manager will be responsible for 1. but have assistants doing the day-to-day and have a strong influence and focus on 2, while perhaps even having influence on 3. in some regards.

    Sports Directors will generally focus on 2 and have a strong say if there is a clear Coach type in the club, and less if there is clear Manager.
