Football no longer has the amateur character it had in previous decades. The football industry is a sector that is among the top five in capital circulation on the planet. As FIFA states, "Football has become a huge business." Is it possible to have a business without management?
For the management and administration of football clubs, the same principles apply as for any other conventional business, but there are also several specificities:
• planning
• organization
• management structure
• budget
• financial management
• academies
• equipment
• the club as a commercial brand
• marketing
• risks
• business plan
• organizational chart
• staffing
• management ethics
• fans
• investors
• institutions
• teams
• players
• obligations, etc.
Knowledge of football club management at a professional level is more than necessary. This book that you are holding in your hands contributes to this knowledge.
