List of current national association football team managers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the current managers of national teams in men's association football. Appointed by the country's association, a manager is responsible for selecting the team of players for the matches of the national team, among other duties.
The list encompasses all teams that are members, full or associate, of one of FIFA's six continental confederations: AFC (Asia), CAF (Africa), CONCACAF (North and Central America and the Caribbean), CONMEBOL (South America), OFC (Oceania), and UEFA (Europe). The great majority of those nations are also members of FIFA itself; where this is not the case, this is noted.
Unlike players, who must meet eligibility rules including holding legal nationality of the country they represent, and have very limited options for changing national team allegiance, managers are bound by no such restrictions; it is not uncommon for associations to hire foreign managers, and for managers to have been in charge of different national teams during their careers.
Managers of FIFA member national teams, along with captains of those teams and media representatives, are able to vote for nominees of The Best FIFA Men's Player award.
