The various possibilities of the coaches' interventions during training and competition demand a strong and trustful relationship between coach and athlete, becoming a determinant factor for success. Looking for a better comprehension of some specificities of the manifestations of the leadership of soccer coaches, this study aimed to identify which factors are important for the leadership profile of soccer coaches, to verify the existence of a possible coaches preference for a specific leadership style and possible differences regarding the components of their own leadership profile. The Revised Leadership Scale for Sports (RLSS), version self-evaluation, was utilized to collect data. Thirteen (13) professional soccer coaches of Campeonato Mineiro/2005 * participated of this study. The average age of the coaches was 46 years old (±10.04) and their average soccer experience as coaches was 13.69 years old (±9.43). The internal consistency of the RLSS for this study was α=0.83. The results showed that the coaches interviewed consider the autocratic and training instruction dimensions as the preferred components of their leadership profile. Further more, differences were detected in the coaches' self-perception of autocratic and democratic dimensions and between the social support component confronted to the situational, positive feedback and training instruction component.
