Gary Fixter - Functions and Responsabilities Of a Soccer Coach 

A football coach either at a competitive or grassroots level has a series of functions, depending on the club in which he develops his functions, which may be more or less extensive and, above all, responsibilities to be taken into account when this work is carried out.

We wanted to list some of them at the generic level in order to help those coaches who begin this fascinating educational, training, sports and personal development work.

* Find talents for your team and club.
