I have taken a path from network administrator to manager. Roughly, the transition is individual contributor -> technical or team lead -> manager. Technical certifications have little bearing on management roles. The key factors in successful management are soft skills, not technical skills.
If you want to become a manager look for additional responsibility, especially in projects that involve collaboration with other people or teams, or projects that require negotiating scarce resources (time, money, hardware). When manager-types see that you're able to work well with others, your name will come up in conversations when they're trying to fill leadership roles.
Be careful what you wish for. Effective management is hard. The more success you have with it, the less opportunity you'll have to solve the kind of complex technical issues that may have attracted you to the technology industry.
