Head Coaches

Head coaches are fundamental to the success of any club or representative national team. National Associations have invested heavily in coaching courses in recent decades, supported by the UEFA Coaching convention and UEFA Club Licensing minimum qualification requirements, to significantly improve the technical quality of coaching from junior to senior level. However data on head coach career paths and qualifications has been very limited up to now.
