Do you have to Be a soccer player to be a soccer manager?

The basic answer is no, but traditionally, managers have been players.

As with any job you need to understand the basics before you progress to the bigger picture, and this experience may be acquired from playing ("the school of grass") or from analysing and studying football ("laboratory football").

A good example is the upcoming Europa League final:

  • Porto's manager Villas-Boas was never a professional player and is breaking records for the youngest manager to achieve various feats, including the domestic supercup and league.
  • Braga's manager Domingos Paciência was a career professional player and has made history in bringing Braga to their first European final.
