The LMA Institute delivers an ongoing programme of research across football and the management and coaching profession. The research informs the development of the Institute’s offering and serves to guide the game on strategic decision‑making.
“The managers, the coaches, need to have a voice of where the game is going, how it evolves. We are a massive stakeholder in the game.”
Tenure, turnover and trends in both the men’s and women’s professional game:
LMA End of Season Manager Statistics 2024-25
LMA Mid-Season Manager Statistics 2025-26
Qualitative and quantitative studies on relevant subjects including refereeing, diversity, employment, wellbeing, career pathways among other key topics.
Working alongside game stakeholders, the LMA represents its members across a number of Professional Coach Partnership (PCP) working groups and wider game projects.
"It is great that the EFL managers can contribute and have a voice on technical issues, especially those focused on the technical area. The game needs to continue to improve, and I am happy that the LMA continues to drive this forward on our behalf."
