Leeds City Football Club is looking to appoint a manager with responsibility for their Academy team for the season 2010-2011. This is a new position, but very important and which demonstrates the ambitions of the club in actively developing their own home grown players to progress through to the first team.

The Academy team will play the first season in a local district league. It is planned however (subject to expected development of facilities) to then enter the team in one of the dedicated academy leagues 2011-2012. This will test Leeds City against the best young players in the North of England who’s First Teams some of whom play at Unibond standard.

The successful candidate will almost certainly possess the following attributes;

1.       Ambitious

2.       Dedicated

3.       Motivational

4.       Team Player

5.       Enthusiastic

These qualities are as important as experience. You need to share our ambitions and vision. It may well be that you are coming to the end of your playing career and now wish to move into management. Or alternatively you may already coach/manager and you are looking for a new challenge. Not only are we looking for the Academy players to develop, but the club will also want the manager to do so too. The club will help towards additional coaching qualifications and will support the manager in all aspects of his role.

Leeds City Academy will be taking our promising junior players and develop them so they can challenge for 1^st Team football in the near future. We will also look to bring in players whom are aged 16-19 years old if they show promise and can add quality to the team and most importantly the club.
