ANNUAL CASTROL LMA
EUROPEAN MANAGERS SURVEY LAUNCHED FOR FIRST TIME
The League Managers Association (LMA) and Castrol, The Official Performance Partner of the LMA, have published the inaugural Annual Castrol LMA European Managers and Coaches Survey, gathering the views of top-level managers across Europe on the most important issues in modern football.
The Annual Castrol LMA European Managers and
Coaches Survey has been developed to collate and better understand the
collective views of managers and coaches from 19 different nationalities across
Europe, including the full membership of the LMA, on technical and other
matters which affect the game on a domestic and international level.
The key points and outcomes from the results
of the survey are as follows:
·
Respondents identified a professional referee
training academy as the main factor that could help improve the standards of
refereeing, and also that refereeing was the main area that could help improve
the overall standard of the game
·
83% of respondents considered that the handball
rule requires further clarification
·
65% of respondents deemed the ‘denial of an
obvious goal scoring opportunity’(DOGSO), triple jeopardy law (penalty, sending
off, suspension) as unfair
·
69% of respondents opposed the current dates for
the transfer window
·
72% of respondents are in favour of a reduction
in international friendlies
·
62% of respondents support the introduction of
not just goal line but also video technology with 63% deeming that football
should consider using a decision referral system where referees themselves
should have the authority to clarify certain match incidents
The aim of the survey will be to take an
annual snapshot on important topics that shape the game and the working
environment for managers and coaches. It will guide the LMA's thinking and
representation of its membership, as well as identifying trends and
developments at the heart of the game.

Howard Wilkinson, Chairman of the LMA said;
"I am delighted that the LMA, in
conjunction with Castrol, have produced this ground-breaking survey of European
managers' and coaches' views on issues crucial to the game and themselves.
Consultation is the mother of progress and change, and these views objectively
represented, will surely be the basis for better cooperation between governance
and practitioner."
Richard Bevan, Chief Executive of the LMA
said;
“The results of this survey are fascinating
and demonstrate the value of the collective views of managers and coaches
across Europe. We thank Castrol for their support of the LMA and this project
and we look forward to working with them in the coming years to come on this
and similar projects. Obtaining such valuable information is vital for the overall
development and benefit of the game. The LMA would like to thank all of the
managers and coaches who completed the survey and we now looking forward to
sharing this information with football’s stakeholders.”
José Mourinho, manager of Real
Madrid said:
“It is vital for the future of football that
the combined views and opinions of managers are collected and listened to. This
LMA Survey is so important because it deals with the issues that affect
managers each and every day, from rules and regulations, to technology,
transfers and finances. It brings together managers and coaches across Europe,
demonstrating the subjects we feel strongly about and provides real insights
from managers based on our combined experience. The results of the Survey
should be used to benefit and help shape the overall development and progress
of football.”
Carlo Ancelotti, manager of Paris
Saint-Germain said;
“It is fantastic that the LMA are canvassing
the views of managers and coaches across Europe for the good of the game. Football
is a truly international game and issues do not stop at country borders. It is
vital that there is open dialogue in the game for it to progress and I along
with the managers and coaches across Europe are always open to the opportunity
to come together to discuss and debate matters like leadership, management and
the many technical issues in the game.”
Steve
Sedgwick, Europe and Africa Marketing Communications Manager at Castrol said;
As
Official Performance Partner of the LMA, Castrol believes that this Survey
is valuable for inputting into the future direction of football,
bringing together the opinions of managers and coaches from the highest levels
of the game as one voice. We look forward to continuing to work closely with
the LMA’s membership on issues of performance, leadership and governance in
football.
