Introduction Introduction

Research has examined sports migrations through different disciplines such as What countries hosted the Portuguese coaches? sociology, history, economy and geography (Bale & Maguire, 1994; Maguire & Falcous, 2011) What was the role of their professional networks? However, most studies focus only on players’ migration and not on the patterns of coaches’ migration.

The few studies about coaches have studied mainly the particularities of the English and Irish cases (Carter, 2004; Taylor, 2010)

No studies have examined the migration of Portuguese coaches after the start of the financial crisis in 2009.

This period provides an excellent opportunity to investigate the migration patterns and networks of coaches under the pressure of economic and financial insecurity.
