This work aimed to analyze the expected and perceived managerial skills associated with the role of academic-manager in federal universities, from the perspective of the model proposed by Mendonça et al. (2012). It is argued that the social role of academic-manager is composed of managerial skills, which are, in some respect, different from those required by other aspects of the role of professor. The study adopted a qualitative approach, with semi-structured interviews with academic-managers of the Federal University of the São Francisco Valley (UNIVASF). Data from the interviews were analyzed through content analysis, with the support of the Atlas.ti software. Expected managerial skillspoint to a proximity to the cognitive, behavioral, ethical and political components of managerial knowledge indicated by Mendonça et al. (2012). About the perceived managerial skills, respondents believe they have those characterized by political, interpersonal and ethical components. It is believed that the results of this research can contribute to the understanding of the competences of academic-managers of federal higher education institutions (FHEI).
