To the concept of manager, in our language, it is used fundamentally in two senses.
On the one hand, in the field of companies, especially those of large size. The manager is a common position and executive characteristics, that is, whoever exercises this function is mainly in charge of the management and administration of the company in which she carries out this activity.
And on the other hand, the term manager is closely associated with the fields of sport and of the music since it designates that person who acts as attorney-in-fact or representative of a musician, a band or an athlete, as appropriate.
Basically, the manager will take care of finding the best contracts for his client, with the best conditions, and will accompany him in everything that has to do with his performance. She is also the one who will maintain permanent contact with the press and through which interviews with the player or musician should be arranged.
Undoubtedly, that of manager turns out to be an activity that demands on the part of those who display it a special disposition at the time of negotiation, since as we pointed out, that is its main function, to carry out the best
hiring possible for your client, that is, make him earn money.Depending on the arrangement that is made, it is usual for the manager to charge a commission for each contract that he manages to close for his client, or it is also common for him to charge a pre-set percentage.
The importance of those who work as managers with artists or athletes is such that many sometimes they even become celebrities who are on a par with the stars they represent, for example, Guillermo Coppola, manager for many years of soccer player Diego Maradona He knew how to achieve a fantastic fame alongside the former ten of the Argentine national team, who later knew how to capitalize on to continue in the middle without representing the star of football.
Although it is a term that comes from the language English and not Spanish, his foray into our language was such that he has adopted it as his own, and as we said, we use it a lot. For those who do not like to use terms that come from other languages, they tend to use instead of manager, the concepts of director, of manager, which refer precisely to the same function of the term that occupies us in this review.
