The FSI Online Master High-Performance Football Coach is an international, online program aimed at football coaches aspiring to work professionally.
Throughout the program, students will acquire extensive theoretical and practical knowledge of football coaching applied in real-world football teams. Graduates of this program are accredited by the FSI faculty as possessing the necessary skills to competently serve as head coaches or assistant coaches in professional football.
All professors in this program are esteemed scientists and/or practitioners from some of the world's premier football clubs. FSI takes pride in offering their invaluable knowledge to empower football professionals and advance football science.
Due to the intense competitive schedule and frequent matches in a football season, the injury rate tends to rise. Recognizing this challenge, clubs are increasingly investing in the role of injury reconditioning trainers to ensure proper recovery and a more effective return to competition, thereby minimizing the risk of relapses.
This growing emphasis on injury reconditioning trainers is evident in the heightened demand from elite clubs, marking a continuous expansion in this essential department.
At FSI, we collaborate with over 35 partner clubs worldwide, providing you with the unique opportunity to receive hands-on training within the internal structures of these clubs.
Upon completing your training, you'll have the chance to apply your knowledge in a professional club setting, gaining valuable experience in the world of elite football.
Our internship program is entirely voluntary, allowing you to apply for it without limitations. You can choose to intern at a specific club and, if desired, opt for additional stays at different clubs in the future.
However, if the internship program doesn't align with your preferences, no worries. Participation in the stays is optional, and you have the flexibility to decline. Rest assured, the FSI master's program maintains its validity, and you'll receive your certificate in the same manner.
Take a look to our partners clubs where you could experience your stay:
