The subject of the study is the leadership qualities of basketball coaches. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a link between the leadership qualities of basketball coaches and the team rankings. The study included 12 women's basketball teams - 6 Italian and 6 Bulgarian. The Italian basketball clubs participate in the Unione Italiana Sport for all (UISP) Championship and the Bulgarian in the National University Championship (NUS). 172 people were examined and were divided into competitors (n = 160) and coaches (n = 12). The final ranking of the teams is the ranking in the respective championships (Lombardy in Italy and Sofia in Bulgaria). The possible successes of the teams after the regional championship phase (for example, participation in a national championship or playoffs) have not been observed. The empirical study was conducted with a specially transformed and modified version of the Multivariate Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) developed by Bass (Bass & Avolio, 1989). The questionnaire contains a total of 15 questions and five of the questions focus on three types of leadership. The rating includes a scale from 0 to 4 for each item. The questionnaire was translated into Italian and Bulgarian. The tool consists of two parts. The first component is the leader's (coach's) self-esteem with regarding his leadership style, and the second is the assessment made by the followers (players) regarding their perceptions of the leader's (coach's) behavior. The questionnaires were distributed to some teams via the Internet and to others directly at the training site for short-handed completion and returned directly to the researcher. The collection was made simultaneously in Italy and Bulgaria. Correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to process the obtained data. The analysis of the results shows that the ranking is aggravated by the growing differences in perceptions of the leader (coach) and followers (players) of the leadership style practiced mainly by the leader. It is observed that participants who receive low values of deviation in perceptions are more efficient. Taking into account external factors, we note that 43% of team rankings are explained by differences in perceptions, age, team years, number of teams changed, and training hours per week. Age factors, team years and the number of teams changed per player have a minor effect on the ranking. The factor that showed more importance for presentation was the weekly training hours.
