Becoming the manager of a professional football club is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, but it will be well worth it if you love the game. To start, you’ll need experience as a player. Join a recreational or youth league to see the game from a player’s perspective. Then, get certified as a youth coach and volunteer at your local park district or youth league as a manger. Work your way up to a minor league management position to get experience in the higher tiers of play. With enough hard work and dedication, you might be able to find a professional management position.
