Football managers are crucial to any team, nation, and fan base connected to the sport. A football manager is in charge of many different aspects of football, including the culture, system, strategies, recruitment, selection, management, and so forth. These elements all impact a team’s performance and ultimate success or failure. And successful managers are those who consistently perform well over a longer period of time.
