Management challenges in football

Abstract

Management here means to pull together the three initial propositions. The most important square in the four-field framework in Chapter 2 is the bottom left quadrant. Four basic drivers characterize four ideal organization archetypes: Mission driven, Scenario driven, Structure driven and Control driven. The business sector, including four models of management are linked with the squares in this chapter. In football, ‘Administration’ or ‘Commerce’, constitute the two squares on the left, as earlier explained. They seem to be more associated with Mission and Scenario and less with Structure and Control. The Coaching side (or the Science side) including the match plus training square, on the other side, are dominated by the Coach and more driven by Structure and Control.
