I am sure someone has probably posted this but these comments from an interview with The Guardian on the 24th March are quite interesting...
“I think stability in English football is key and that comes with [having] people between the owners and the coaches,” Rösler says. “I’m a big fan of the role of the sporting director or the director of football, whatever you want to call it, as long as he has a major influence – he needs to suggest the coach to the board, because he has to work with the coach 24/7. For example, I speak to Gretar Steinsson, the technical director at Fleetwood, more than I speak to my wife, and that was the same when I worked with Mark Warburton at Brentford.
“There must be absolute chemistry between those two positions, to build the short-, medium- and long-term future for the club. When you don’t have that person in between, the coach is just firefighting."
