Administrative Competence Scale, developed by Al (2007) as Master's thesis was used as data collection tool in the research. In addition, personal information form, developed in accordance with the purpose of the present research was used. Significant difference tests were used to test whether football coaches' administrative competence levels differ in terms of license levels, length of service and professional satisfaction levels. Findings of the present research are as follows: Administrative competence levels of football coaches are higher than the average, but there were no significance differences between the coaches' administrative competence attitudes in terms of license levels (p>0.005), and there is a significant difference in terms of length of service (p<0.005). Accordingly, it was found that coaches with longer experience have higher administrative competence attitudes than the other coaches. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
