Academy Leaders Programme - 26-27 Cohort

Application Deadline: February 27, 2026

Department: Leadership and Academy Programmes

Employment Type: Programme

Location: Leadership and Academy Programmes

Workplace type: Hybrid

INTRODUCTION

The Premier League is now seeking candidate applications for the 2026-27 intake of Academy Leaders (AL). AL is an established leadership development course with the aim of supporting Premier League and EFL Clubs with succession planning and diversity in Academy leadership, by developing and preparing existing academy leaders for the challenges of undertaking the role of Academy Manager.

Programme Summary

• Aimed specifically at those in Heads of Department, Senior Academy Leadership Team, or equivalent roles in the Academy

• Desire to become an Academy Manager and develop the impact of their current role

• Supported by Academy Managers

CONTEXT

Investing in the Academy Workforce

The Premier League has been investing in developing leaders in the Academy system, such as Academy Mangers and Heads of Coaching, since 2016. This investment supports our ongoing mission of Developing More and Better Home-Grown Players and improving the quality of Coaching in Academies through world-leading leadership, workforce and coach development programmes.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)

A critical aspect of this pipeline is challenging the existing landscape of Academy Leadership and considering the diversity of the workforce. The Premier League is committed to enhancing pathways for underrepresented groups, specifically from Black and Asian backgrounds, and Women. The Premier League’s development of the No Room For Racism (NRFR) Action plan in 2020 has placed even greater importance on addressing the key issues related to diversity within the professional game. The challenge is clear when it is considered that Black, Asian and ethnically diverse players make up over 25% of current players in the Premier League and EFL, yet there are 2% Black, Asian or Female Academy Managers.

THE AL PROGRAMME

Objectives

Academy Leaders has three core objectives:

• Succession Planning: Support Premier League and EFL clubs with succession planning by raising leadership quality in the Academy system, through developing and preparing existing Academy Leaders for the challenges of undertaking the role of Academy Manager.

• Leadership Effectiveness: Enhance the leadership competencies, impact, and effectiveness of those in “Heads of” or Senior Leadership Team roles in the Academy.

• Leadership Diversity: Assist in diversifying the workforce at Premier League and EFL clubs; promoting a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusion. 

How to Apply

AL welcomes applications from individuals with the clear desire and aspiration to develop and progress into a future role of Academy Manager. Applicants must be in an existing club role, although consideration may be given for those who are in a transition with a clear expectation that they will be in a club during the programme. They can be in any role, but the individual must have clear aspirations to be an Academy Manager at some point in the future. Diversity is a key driver of the programme and so AL will specifically seek and welcome applications from a wide range of under-represented groups.

The recruitment process is an open process with individuals applying directly, by clicking on the 'Apply Now' button, but will require the support of their Academy Manager.

Applications will close at midnight on 27 February 2026, with the selection process occurring between April - June and the programme commencing in August.

If you have any further questions about the course and/or recruitment process, please contact the Leadership and Workforce Development Team at lwd@premierleague.com
