This study aims to identify the profile of the public sports manager working at the municipal level in different Brazilian states. The Northeast, Centre-West, Southeast, and South regions were considered as the sample, through the states of Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, Rio Grande do Norte, Santa Catarina, and Sergipe, for a total of 1.955 municipalities in this research. The analysis was based on data relating to the "Human Resources" axis of the Sports Management in States and Municipalities (GEEM) instrument. The results showed a predominance of males, differences in Race; Age; Schooling; Level of School; Remuneration, both for each state and each region of the country. The conclusion is that there is a need for the academic and professional training for public managers in the field of physical education, combined with sports management, in order to make public policies more effective, as well as the continuation of public service programmes independent of the region. Keywords: Management, Sport Management, Public Policy, Sports Manager, Profile Manager.
