Publisher's Summary:
From the post room to the board room, everyone thinks they can be the manager. But how do you manage outrageous talent? What do you do to inspire loyalty from your players? How do you turn around a team in crisis? Whats the best way to build long-term success? How can you lead calmly under pressure?
The issues are the same whether youre managing a Premier League soccer team or an FTSE 100 company.
Here, for the first time, some 30 of the biggest names in soccer management reveal just what it takes. With their every decision, remark, skill, and success or failure under constant scrutiny from the media and the fans, these managers need to be the most adroit of leaders. In The Manager they explain their methods, give examples of lessons theyve learned along the way, and describe the decisions they make and the leadership they provide.
Each chapter tackles a key leadership issue for managers in any walk of life and, in their own words, shows how the experts deal with the challenges they face in an abnormally high-pressure environment. Offering valuable lessons for business leaders and fascinating behind-the-scenes insights for soccer fans, The Manager is an honest, accessible and unprecedented look at the day-to-day work of these high-profile characters and the world of top-level soccer management.

Worst book ever
What would have made The Manager better?
Better narrator
Has The Manager turned you off from other books in this genre?
Almost
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kyle Munley?
Anybody that knows the game. I mean he sounds like a robot and he calls Celtic "Keltik" if u knew the game you would know how to pronounce it correct
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger and disappointment

Get a better narrator
Good management book
Loved listening to this management book. The insights given into the minds of footballs best managers are unique. The book shows what makes a great manager. Loved listening to the book. Would highly recommend.
Scattered
As a coach listening to this, I will need to listen to it atleast twice. The information is superb, however it is scattered and tossed at you so fast. Huge details scattered without a lot of depth at the given time. The depth comes later, but it makes it hard to connect everything at the time. I feel once I listen the second-third time, everything will start to settle in. Performance is dry.
Brutal
What did you like best about The Manager? What did you like least?
The narration was horrific
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kyle Munley?
Anyone else. Sounded like I was getting driving directions and couldn't pronounce one person or team's name.
Was The Manager worth the listening time?
Yes for the content, but had to suffer
Good book brutal job of narration
This was really a very interesting and insightful work on English football managers. My big complaint is that they should've gotten somebody who was either British or they could've at least coached the narrator on how to pronounce a bunch of the names of the cities in the clubs that were in this book. He missed pronounced a ton of them. That said, the book is well worth it and was very very interesting.
