Abstract

The question of whether an Association football (soccer) manager might benefit from working with an executive coach can be broached with regard to the work of Marshall Goldsmith, who is author of the best-selling What Got You Here Won't Get You There. The title of this book is apt in the context of discussing the career of Roy Keane, who has made a difficult transition into football management from being one of the game's leading players.
