Become a sporting director: a career to build
You do not start as chairman. You earn your place, rank after rank.
A ranked progression
Your career follows ranks. At each step your club trusts you more, but expectations rise too. A bad run of results can cost you your job.
The moments that matter
- Your first sporting promotion
- Crises: five defeats, burnout, a row with the coach
- Cup and European seasons
- Your honours, which keep track of what you won
How to progress
Recruit well, keep your promises to players and press, watch your stress. The become chairman guide covers the path to the top.
Frequently asked questions
