This book is the first study of its kind to focus on the management of professional football clubs, providing a real-world insight into management principles and their practical application. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe international commercialisation of football has led to a fundamental transformation of the industry's management practices, given the financial rewards of success and the high price of failure. This book presents a critical examination of this transformation, questioning why clubs are increasingly adopting management strategies from other industries. Each chapter analyses the role played by a key leadership figure within a club, such as the owner, chief executive officer (CEO), chief financial officer (CFO), chief operating officer (COO), director of football (DoF), and head coach. Full of exclusive interviews, case studies and examples of best practice, this book sheds new light on the challenges of working in this extraordinarily high-pressure environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFootball Club Management: Insights from the Field\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis fascinating reading for all those working in or studying the management, marketing or administration of football.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIan Lawrence\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in Sports Management at Teesside University, UK, where he runs the BA Hons Sports Management and Marketing degree programme.
