To build a meaningful career in professional football, managers and coaches need to be proactively committed to their own career development. The volatility of the employment market creates uncertainty, but it also creates opportunities for those who are able to navigate the complexities of the industry, engage effectively with the job market and consider both domestic and overseas roles.
The LMA’s career development programme offers all members access to a substantial package of support, including one-to-one career coaching, expert-led masterclasses, focused webinar sessions and a growing library of self-guided resources. This support helps managers develop greater self-awareness, understand how they are perceived, refine their employability, engage effectively with clubs and agents, and plan strategically for the next steps in their careers.
“The LMA really cares about you. They want their members to have the best opportunity to succeed and are there to support you in every part of the journey."
