Needless to say, this should be expanded. I'm not a soccer person though, so I have no idea what to say about it.

Why is this article called manager (association football)? Do American, Canadian, Australian, Gaelic or Rugby football have managers? —Wiki Wikardo 06:19, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"In American sports, these duties would be handled separately by the head coach and general manager, respectively." In Germany it's the same. Maybe Joachim Löw has as much power as a british manager but in CLUB Football there is a seperation. The head coach can't decide about contracts and getting players for the club. He coaches and fields them. Contracts, organization etc. aren't made by the coach (german: Trainer) but by the Manager, Sportdirektor (sporting director), sportlicher Leiter (sporting leader) or whatever term. It differs a little from club to club, but a coach never does those tasks (except when he has a double position like e. g. Felix Magath at VfL Wolfsburg). This isn't really explained in the section "European and North American managers".--SamWinchester000 (talk) 13:48, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Example Rudi Völler is the sporting director at Bayer 04 Leverkusen and decides about new players, not head coach Roger Schmidt.--SamWinchester000 (talk) 21:11, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
