INTRODUCTION
The game football is played globally and is arguably one of the most popular sports on earth. The performance of the game has gone beyond a nation or continent dominating it as it were, when South America as a continent (Brazil, Argentina) dominated the game in the seventies and eighties, (FIFA. 2007).
Today, there are no minors or majors in football, but the performance of any team depends to a large extent on the administrative tasks that are employed to enhance the performance of football game.
These administrative tasks include; planning, organizing, staffing, directing, coordinating, reporting and budgeting.
Administrators who are efficient with these tasks can make their workplaces so inspiring to the employees. In other words, effective utilization of these tasks will enhance the performance of the indigenous coaches even in FCT Football league with good results.
Management of an organization has to recognize the problems, identify the opportunities, make the right decisions and take the appropriate actions to operate a successful business (Anderson 1988; Black & Porter 2000).
This is carried out by performing the four basic management functions comprising planning, organizing, directing and coordinating effectively.
The emphasis placed on each function of the management process depends on the managerial level (Anderson 1988; Schermerhorn 1999). At the higher managerial level, planning plays an important role and is exercised more often.
