I am wondering how I can become a coach and/or manager of any club- amateur or professional. I live in Australia so I checked the FFA website, it had nothing. I checked the AFC website it also had nothing. No one from my area has any idea and I am wondering if I could maybe get it done through UEFA despite being a few thousand kilometres out of range.

i tried to contact a few clubs via email a few months back myself, but never heard a word back, if you do find out can you let me know as well pls

anyone??

have a look on google

google was useless, came up with more FFA links which I followed and the courses are all in other states with none in NSW not even for GK training or Futsal.

Can I do courss on the internet and then do prac courses in person when they come?? Does anyone from Aust. have any idea??

It looks to me like most courses are done in Canberra at the Institute of Sport.

I would suggest emailing info@footballaustralia.com.au or give Terry Venables a call....

Look up the immigration office of Australia and check what they accept as acceptable qualifications for the job role of coach

Go to www.footballnsw.com.au and then navigate to coaching and development and you can get onto a course. If that fails. Phone Tricia O'Keefe on 02 88144431 and she will enrol on a course.
They also employ people for a range of coaching jobs, full-time and some part-time.

thanks for that. I am looking at attending the Australian College of Physical Education too but thats a $68000 course!! Think i'll skip that and use my money for other courses before moving to England...

Hi there,

The AFC do actually offer coaching licenses from AFC C right up to AFC Pro Diploma. You might want to do your AFC C and AFC B in Singapore, the website would be www.fas.org.sg...Good luck

thats really helpful Thanks, i'll be doing that when i'm 18 then Unless i'm playing football in Europe by then
