I’m looking for participants to support my research in Sporting Directorship at Manchester Metropolitan University. The study examines how football clubs structure their sporting departments, focusing on clubs that have performed above expectations relative to their resources. The aim is to identify which roles and structures make the biggest impact on on-field success and develop a framework to guide clubs with limited resources. If you are a senior leader in professional football (Chief Executive, Sporting/Technical Director, Head of Recruitment, Performance, Football Operations, or Medical) and open to sharing your insights, please complete the form here: forms.office.com/e/WuX35pSGjK
