Six managers of the aforementioned Units in a municipality in Minas Gerais participated. For data collection, semi-structured, audio-recorded interviews were used, from October to November 2017, taking into account the research question: What do the managers of the Family Health Units think, and how do they perceive management in that circumstance Data verification followed the Content Analysis, thematic modality, and was guided by the precepts of the work process and co-management in health. Results: the following thematic categories emerged: Manager attribution in the daily life of PHC; Shared management; and Challenges and Progress for PHC management. The thematic categories showed elements of the daily work of managers in health units, as well as the challenges and advances in this scenario.
