The Role of Administrators' Competence in Managing Financial Crises in Professional Sports Clubs: A Field Study of Some Algerian Professional Football Clubs (Mobilis First and Second Professional Leagues)

Abstract

Professional football clubs in Algeria are facing various and diverse sports crises, especially financial ones, despite their transition to professionalism and the substantial support they receive, whether from the government or the private sector. In light of this, clubs require a comprehensive and consistent response in dealing with crises, which may not be achieved without capable managerial leadership that possesses sufficient knowledge and expertise in sports administration and management. Such leadership often resides in the club administrators.
