Sports management

Massad Al-Harthi

Some believe, unfortunately, that resignations are the solution in our sports system, and I do not blame the fans who are constantly suffering from failures and failures in the results of our national team and the clubs that represent us externally, but how many administrations have resigned, and how many coaches have changed, and the results have not changed, and will not change, because we work in a uniform way. Random, and I mentioned repeatedly the importance of managing institutions, the strategy of institutions, not the strategy of people, we need to manage human resources from coaches, players and administrative staff, and we also need to manage financial resources.

The situation has become unbearable, and enough is enough, because we have a lot of capabilities and unlimited support, but unfortunately our capabilities are modest in management, and the funny thing is that the majority put money and reward as a reason to achieve victory, and everyone should pay attention when we talk about the interest of the national team or about Emirati football, because the homeland We need fighting soldiers, we don't need surrendering players, and we don't need people to appear in the media when we win, and disappear when we fail.

Unfortunately, the identity and personality of our team have been tampered with, and there is no life for those who call, and as I mentioned, we will not change, because our administration is with “love of fear.” The coach manages, the star player manages, and the management is plump, and tries to gain the satisfaction of the coach and the player to achieve victory in order to silence the sports street, and not to create a successful environment And a strategy for the return of the personality and prestige of the Emirates national team and football.

The management of sports institutions is the first responsible, and it is assumed that it is the one that manages the system, but unfortunately the sports management is not only modest, but rather is going in the wrong direction, and I do not mean the current administration only, but the matter extends to most of the previous administrations, and the evidence is when changing the federation, strategies change, and change Projects, ideas, and even the way coaches and players courtship underscore the extent of vulnerability.

A summary of the speech for those who wanted to benefit, and I apologize for my harshness, but our participation in “Gulf 25” is the best proof that we need a strong administration that improves strict and fair decision-making, an administration that is not afraid of dealing with a coach, because he is an employee, has a work contract and a large salary, and is good at Hold him accountable if he does not complete the tasks. We need an administration that holds the player accountable and punishes him before rewarding him.

Gentlemen, honorable people, we need someone who manages the system with the principle of "a confident step walks as a king", we need someone who applies a strategy that does not change with the change of people, and does not sway with the swaying of whims, in need of strength and prestige, and management of its slogan "The UAE is above all".

• Our participation in the "Gulf 25" is the best proof that we need a strong administration that improves strict and fair decision-making.
