Introduction: Coaching & Coach Education

UEFA keeps in touch with the coaches – as well as the people responsible for educating them.

The UEFA Football Development division under UEFA's technical director Andy Roxburgh is the focal point for events and activities involving coaches and the coaching sector.

Coaches and technicians meet with UEFA at regular intervals – a conference is held with national coaches after each final round of the FIFA World Cup and European Football Championship, and leading club coaches get together with the European body for the UEFA Elite Coaches’ Forum at the start of each season.

Europe’s national association technical directors meet for a UEFA conference every two years, and there are also regular courses for the coach educators. All of the events and work undertaken have the well-being of the technical sector – and European football as a whole – in mind.
