Foreword
Football is often referred to as the global game and is all-pervasive across most parts of the world. Indeed, countless people play the game, talk about it, and generally organise their leisure time around it. Alongside this, football has progressed from being a ritual and a celebration to become an amateur sport, a professional sport, and now, increasingly, a commercial sport. This means that football in many countries now faces a distinctive set of challenges. In particular, this includes reconciling the history and traditions of the game with the commercial opportunities and problems posed by the http://www.download-it.org/learning-resources.php?promoCode=&partnerID=&content=story&storyID=26021 twenty-rst century. Managing Football: An International Perspective therefore sets out to examine football in this context. It is recognised that football has a proud, noble heritage as a cultural asset that is worth preserving. However, the underlying premise of the book is that football today faces a future that increasingly requires people involved in, or associated with, the sport to adopt a professional, strategic, and sometimes commercially focused approach to the administration of the institutions that make up what we might describe as the football industry. As such, the book is not necessarily a celebration of the history and traditions of football or of the increasing commercialisation of it. Rather, it aims to identify and analyse the most important matters facing managers in the football industry in all its facets. It is important to note that this, in part, refers to the people who manage teams of 11 players: the coach, the director of football, and the team manager. Yet, the book focuses much more on management off the eld of play. While this inevitably has a link to what happens in football matches, we clearly focus here on issues such as sound business practice, the technological environment in which football clubs operate, the successful marketing of football, and managing football in an international and global context. In essence, therefore, we aim to ensure that readers will have a better understanding of the administration of the football industry, and the institutions within it, after reading this book.

Foreword
The book is essentially split into two sections: The rst deals with the application of mainstream management disciplines to football, as well as consideration of those challenges that are highly specic to, or distinctive in, football. While there are certain aspects of management that all industries and activities sharedfor instance, managing scarce resourcesdfootball faces some key challenges that others do not. These include issues of competition structure, the particular nature of fandom, and the debt levels facing many clubs. In the second section of the book, the global nature of the sport is acknowledged. It includes chapters that examine contemporary football management issues in countries as diverse as England, Australia, Mexico, and South Africa. Throughout this section of the book, the intention has been to highlight the simultaneous similarities and differences that are evident in a selection of countries in which football is played and watched around the world. Our ultimate hope is that readers will enjoy this book and nd it useful for http://www.download-it.org/learning-resources.php?promoCode=&partnerID=&content=story&storyID=26021 many reasons. At the very least, because the book is about football, it is anticipated that people will be able to gain an even stronger insight into a sport of which many already have an extensive knowledge. It is nevertheless also anticipated that the book will help contribute to developments in practice and knowledge in the area of the business management of the football industry in all its dimensions and will be of interest not only to students studying sports management but to management practitioners in all areas of the games administration and related industries.
