In order to calculate the managers’ efficiency of team sports within a league is necessary to know the output and inputs. The points obtained in the league are usually used as output, while as input are usually used variables that engage the quality of the rooster. In this paper the players’ prices from a football fantasy league are used as a measure of the players’ quality. A stochastic frontier is estimated to calculate the efficiency of the coaches in the Spanish First Division in the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 seasons. The results show that the coaches that have been professional players are less efficient that coaches that did not.
