"Managing the football club", aside from matters pertaining to the team, don't you mean? Otherwise it's all the same thing, ain't it?

The club and team are clearly well-run, so therefore we're essentially judging whether He should stay or go based on acts of God, i.e. the outcome of football matches. Not very professional, imo.
