Which follows on from my question on 5th March as to
‘Who would want to be a Manager?’
In theory, it should take a minimum of three years to process oneself thru the varying stages to gain FA Coaching badges, which is the requisite in order to be in charge of a football club either as a coach or manager.
There is a lot of stiff opposition – from retiring players, and those with diplomas – amongst others, and for many, as we all know, there is a distinct lack of job security .
Involvement in, for example, a Sunday League team, is a great basis, and once you have a grasp of the responsibilities and duties, you have to register with your local County Football Association, i.e. the Lancashire FA, to take it to the next stage – the ‘Level 1 Certificate in Coaching Soccer’
This is the most basic course and almost 20,000 participate in it each year.
This course teaches you the important aspects of coaching soccer to young people, together with safety, first aid, and working with children.
The next step, after putting into practice what you have learned, would be to register for the ‘Level 2 Certificate in Coaching’ which builds on that in Level 1, but focuses more on the technical aspects.
Once you have obtained both Level 1 and 2, and gained some years practical experience, you will be regarded as an established coach at Youth/Amateur level.
After that? Your sights should now be on achieving a ‘Level 3’, which is the equivalent of the ‘UEFA ‘B’ Licence involving at least 120 hours of active commitment.
From there, you can go even further and have on your CV the ‘UEFA ‘A’ Licence, which is a two-year programme available thru the FA and involves residential courses.
To work in the Prem, you would have to take it to the next level and obtain the ‘UEFA ‘Pro’ Licence, and have at least 10 years coaching experience.
This is the minimum mandatory requirement for all Prem League bosses.
Apart from professional level coaching skills, the Pro Licence involves a year of workshops and 240 hours of study on fitness, injury prevention, player agents, and transfer protocol.
There are three levels of progression, and after each section, applicants must take a written exam and conduct a supervised training session.
And that’s only the basics.
Do you still want to become a Manager?
YL.
p.s. Just to keep your minds on the fitba’, like,
y’ken.
