Broadly speaking the question is actually the wrong way round. it should really be why does a good successful coach necessarilly make a good manger. This reason i say this is that in the majority of cases the step is up from coach to manager and not down from manager to coach.Therefore most managers would have been a coach first and to be given a shot at management must have been deemed reasonably good at coaching. From what ive seen it would seem that the FA are trying to address that situation by insisting that all league managers should have obtained the Pro Licence (in addition to the 'A') by 2010. This licence focusses more on the art of managing a club, players, agents, transfers etc. |

Strass, you're right in professional terms, I coach in non league and it's basically the other way round! But point taken RE: Football League. I do think the ProLicence needs to be sorted though, it's not the highest coaching qualification at all is it?! The ProLicence, in my opinion, should be for Premiership and Football League coaches at first team level. And the gaffers do the Management course with Warwick University.

Jack, you may have missed my point a little. Previously the Uefa A licence was what was required to coach in the top divisions of any european league. However, the pro licence was introduced as a requirement for european managers outside of England. The premier league brokered a deal in 2003 to fall in line with the rest of europe by 2010. The agreement requires all league managers to have obtained the pro licence by that date. This would suggest that the pro licence is the pinnacle badge to obtain as it can only be obtained after the uefa A.
