The Manager

The Manager is the official magazine of the League Manager’s Association (LMA), the collective, representative voice of all football managers from the Premier League, the Sky Bet Championship and Sky Bet Leagues 1 and 2.

Published four times a year, the magazine offers a window on the world of football management, sharing the views, opinions and experiences of LMA members across the divisions, as well as our wider family of experts and practitioners. Alongside insight from some of the biggest names in football, the Manager also looks beyond the sport for inspiration, featuring interviews on effective management and the secrets of success with everyone from FTSE100 chairmen and entrepreneurs to MPs, admirals and head teachers.

Inside, the magazine is divided into three themed sections – Leadership & Management, Lifestyle & Wellbeing and Pitch Side – each packed with content covering the four tenets upon which LMA learning is based: you, your team, the game and the industry.
Regular features in each issue include interviews with football’s most respected managers; advice on training, sports nutrition and psychology; ideas for tackling the challenges of managing at the top level and profiles of some of the sport’s greatest leaders.
Plus, you can also expect to find the latest football management news and statistics; insight from successful managers in other sports, essential advice from our partners and insights into life in the LMA and at St George’s Park.
Offering unrivalled access to the great and good of football, the Manager is an essential read for anyone wanting to understand what it takes to lead and run a successful team at the top level.
