Responsibilities
The manager's responsibilities in a professional football club usually include (but are not limited to) the following: * Selecting the team of players for matches, and their formation. * Planning the strategy, and instructing the same on the pitch. * Delegating duties to the first team coach and the coaching and medical staff. * Scouting for young but talented players for eventual training in the youth academy or the reserves. * Buying and selling players in the transfer market, including loans. * Facing the media in pre-match and post-match interviews.
Some of the above responsibilities are shared with the director of football or sporting director, and are at times delegated to an assistant manager or club coach.
Additionally, depending on the club, some minor responsibilities include: * Marketing the club, most especially for ticket admission, sponsorship and merchandising. * Growing turnover and keeping the club profitable.
These responsibilities are more common among managers of small clubs.
