.<\/span><\/span><\/p>Every fan likes to experience himself as a football expert. Many are convinced that they understand the game far better than coaches who get paid millions of dollars just to make mistake after mistake, and a mere hobbyist can do the job far better than mentors who have been doing it their whole lives. <\/p>
Well, anyone interested in football can find out for themselves what it's like to be a football manager, thanks to the amazing book Living on the Volcano: The secrets of surviving as a football manager. The read focuses on what each individual must go through to become a coach and then keep their job and sanity at all. <\/p>
Michael Calvin's 2015 book features renowned names such as Alan Pardew, Garry Monk, Mark Hughes and Eddie Howe. They stand before the world with all their reputations to reveal the secrets of football managers and talk openly about the difficulties they have to face on a daily basis. And how money has a cruel influence on everything that happens in football. <\/p>
In the book, readers will learn much more than tactics, schemes and training methods. The book is full of life lessons, stories of feuds and how the road to the top of the football pyramid is terribly difficult. "This job takes your life and eats you from the inside," reads one quote in the book. He alone is worth getting her. <\/p>
