  • Effectiveness of In-Season Manager Changes in English Premier League Football
    Effectiveness of in-season manager changes in English Premier League football Lucas M. Besters*, Jan C. van Ours** and Martin A. van Tuijl*** May 9, 2016 Abstract We analyze the performance effects of in-season manager changes in English Premier League (EPL) football during the seasons 2000/01 – 2014/15. We find that some managerial changes are successful, while others are counterproductive. On average, performance does not improve following a managerial replacement. The successfulness of managerial turnover depends on specific highly unpredictable circumstances, as we illustrate through case-studies. JEL-codes: J44, L83 Keywords: Professional football, manager, change, performance *Department of Economics, CentER, Tilburg University, The Netherlands; [email protected] **Department of Economics, CentER, Tilburg University, The Netherlands; Department of Economics, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia; IZA and CEPR; [email protected] ***Department of Economics, Tilburg University, The Netherlands, [email protected] 1 1. Introduction Football is very popular worldwide. In Europe and Latin-America, football has entertained crowds for more than one century. In other continents, interest has increased in the past decades. Top players now move to the football leagues of Australia, Japan and the United States, and, more recently, also to the league of the People’s Republic of China. Both clubs and national associations employ top-class managers from all around the globe to coach their squads. Furthermore, top clubs have an enormous global fan base. The great interest in football is not restricted to fans seeking entertainment. Professional sports, in general, and professional football, in particular, have proven to be a fruitful soil for scientific research.

  • Germans Blast Capello Over International Recruitment Comments
    Fabio Capello's recruitment comments not shared | Mail Online Pagina 1 Germans blast Capello over international recruitment comments By John Edwards Last updated at 7:32 PM on 30th December 2011 Fabio Capello was accused of getting his facts wrong and misunderstanding immigration on Friday as the German Federation hit back angrily at claims they were recruiting players by unfair means. Federation bosses reacted with dismay to the England manager's criticism of the way players from a Turkish background, such as Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil, have found their way into the Germany team. Still hurting: Fabio Capello dejected as England lose to Germany In an outspoken speech to an international sport conference in Dubai, the Italian claimed it was an unethical trend and called on UEFA president Michel Platini to halt the talent drain from poorer countries. Heritage question: Mesut Ozil He demanded football's rulers end the 'theft of talent' that goes on between national teams. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2080424/Fabio-Capellos-recruitment-comments-shared.... 17/01/2012 Fabio Capello's recruitment comments not shared | Mail Online Pagina 2 But Federation sporting director Matthias Sammer insisted Germany were blameless and that Capello had failed to grasp how immigrants settling there deserved equal opportunities. Ozil was born in Gelsenkirchen, as a third-generation immigrant, and although his World Cup team-mates Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose were born in Poland, they moved to Germany as small children. 'Immigration is a social development that we react to in a proper way and I can assure Capello that we never entice players away from other countries,' said Sammer.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Sport › News & Features Comment Varsity Roses College Cup Fantasy Football Pardew latest casualty in manager merry-go-round that excludes younger coaches The recent sacking of West Brom manager Alan Pardew is yet another sign that Premier League clubs should stop recycling older, waning managers and instead put their trust in younger English managers, argues Jordan McWilliam Tuesday 3 April 2018 Alan Pardew departs as manager of West Brom after 8 successive league defeats. Photograph: 101greatgoals. A COLLECTIVE SIGH was let out when Alan Pardew was appointed manager of West Brom in January, as yet another struggling English team in the Premier League had made another uninspiring appointment. It is no surprise, then, that 3 months later Pardew has been sacked with only one league win to his name, leaving the Baggies 10 points adrift of safety. West Brom are not alone, however, as established middle aged journeyman coaches are littered throughout the wasteland of struggling Premier League sides: David Moyes, Mark Hughes, Paul Lambert, Sam Allardyce, Roy Hodgson – with an average age of 57.8 – represent the glass ceiling for successful young managers looking to climb the ladder in England. When Marco Silva was appointed Hull City manager last season, Sky Sports Soccer Saturday pundits Phil Thompson and Paul Merson bemoaned another “foreign manager” gaining a Premier League job at the cost of young English managers, the example given by Merson was Gary Rowett.

Most notably, Barcelona leapfrogs both Manchester United and Bayern Munich to return to second position behind Real Madrid, becoming only the third club to break the €500m revenue barrier in the process. Bayern Munich drop to fifth overall, overtaken by Paris Saint-Germain. 2014/15 saw substantial revenue growth for the top 20 clubs in the Money League overall, with the aggregate annual revenue of these clubs amounting to a total of €6.6 billion, representing an increase of 8% on the previous year’s top 20. The next significant milestone of €7 billion should be surpassed in the current 2015/16 season, with considerable further growth towards €8 billion in 2016/17.
