Abstract

The football coaches formation is a topic of considerable analysis and constant development. Today football coaches are very heterogeneous, whether in terms of experience as a coach, age, context of intervention and even past practice as a player. This heterogeneity may be more evident in regional football, since it is the basis of this sport, where most players and coaches begin their careers. Thus, regional football can present a big difference between the age and experience of the coaches, which leads to different views and interventions on the part of the coaches. So it is relevant to analyze the importance that coaches (expert and young) in this context give to different professional skills to understand what their convergences and divergences, 40 interviews were conducted (20 expert coaches and 20 young coaches) with an average age of 35.6 years and standard deviation of 8.6 years, following a script composed of five parts: a Personal and socio-professional characterization, the importance given by the interviewees to the Competencies: “Knowledge-Knowledge "," Knowledge-Do "and Knowledge-Be". We observed that both groups give relative importance to the different “knowledges”, however it is the Young Coaches who present the best results, with (51%) of items of (PNFT-RCFG).
