A relevância do profissionalismo no futebol e os impactos da credibilidade dos dirigentes na obtenção de patrocício

Resumo

The principal management positions within the majority of Brazilian football clubs are held by amateur administrators who work voluntarily, with no remuneration. They are people motivated by a passion for the club that they hold close to their hearts and dedicate part of their time to the management of their club, as they have other jobs. These same people are responsible for negotiating sponsorship deals which, together with the sale of television rights, make up the clubs` main source of revenue. These are million-dollar contracts, yet still do not reach the astronomical values of those signed by European clubs. What this study aims to investigate is whether there is any relation between the amateur status of these directors and the ability to obtain sponsorship for the clubs. In other words, to identify if the companies who match their brand to the football clubs would pay a higher premium if these clubs were led by people who were wholly dedicated to the job in the clubs and who were well paid and had proven experience in the market. This study shows that greater professionalism in the administration of the clubs does not necessarily lead to higher sponsorship revenues. The focus of most companies who invest in the football clubs` kit is on a greater exposure of their brand, and might consider a higher contribution for clubs with more supporters and exposure. There is no clear concern over how the clubs are run and how the sponsorship money is spent.
