Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2014/15 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Arena AufSchalke - Gelsenkirchen Wednesday 18 February 2015 20.45CET (20.45 local time) FC Schalke 04 Round of 16, First leg Real Madrid CF Last updated 31/05/2015 18:16CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Head coach 2 Legend 3 1 FC Schalke 04 - Real Madrid CF Wednesday 18 February 2015 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Arena AufSchalke, Gelsenkirchen Head coach FC Schalke 04: Roberto Di Matteo Date of birth: 29 May 1970 Nationality: Italian Playing career: FC Schaffhausen, FC Zürich, FC Aarau, SS Lazio, Chelsea FC Coaching career: MK Dons FC, West Bromwich Albion FC, Chelsea FC (assistant), Chelsea, FC Schalke 04 • Born in the Swiss city of Schaffhausen, Di Matteo started his career with the local club, scoring two goals in 50 league appearances over three seasons before moving to Zürich in 1991. Won the Swiss league title with Aarau in 1992/93, his sole season with the club, going on to a three-year spell at Lazio. • Became Chelsea's record signing in 1996 and paid back a chunk of that €5.85m fee with goals in their final victories of the 1997 FA Cup – after 42 seconds, then the fastest in the final's history – and 1998 English League Cup. Scored the only goal of another FA Cup final triumph in 1999/2000, the last final at the old Wembley. • Having won 34 caps for Italy, Di Matteo sustained a triple leg fracture in a UEFA Cup tie against FC St Gallen early in the 2000/01 campaign and was forced to retire in February 2002. Then-manager Claudio Ranieri asked him to lead out the team for the 2002 FA Cup Final, which Chelsea lost to Arsenal FC. • Took charge of MK Dons in July 2008 and, having finished third in the English third tier, was appointed by West Brom the following summer. In his first season, led the club to second place in the Championship and promotion to the Premier League but sacked in February 2011. • That June, Di Matteo returned to Chelsea as assistant to André Villas-Boas and, following the Portuguese coach's dismissal on 4 March 2012, was appointed as interim first-team coach for the remainder of the season. After guiding the Blues to FA Cup and UEFA Champions League glory, Di Matteo was confirmed as manager on a permanent basis that summer but left the club in November 2012, resurfacing at Schalke almost two years later. Real Madrid CF: Carlo Ancelotti Date of birth: 10 June 1959 Nationality: Italian Playing career: Parma FC, AS Roma, AC Milan Coaching career: AC Reggiana, Parma FC, Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea FC, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid CF • One of only six people to have lifted the European Champion Clubs' Cup as both a player and coach and the second manager, after Bob Paisley, to win the trophy three times. A combative midfielder, he helped Roma win the 1983 Serie A title and four Italian Cups before joining Milan in 1986 where he added two more league championships, as well as back-to-back European Cup triumphs in 1989 and 1990. • Began coaching in 1995 with a year at Reggiana, earning them promotion from Serie B, before two seasons at Parma. Replaced Marcello Lippi at Juventus in February 1999 and returned to San Siro as coach of Milan in 2001. • During eight seasons in charge, won the UEFA Champions League in 2003 and 2007, but lost the 2005 final on penalties to Liverpool FC after leading 3-0. Milan also won a Serie A title, a Coppa Italia and the 2007 FIFA Club World Cup. • Resigned on 31 May 2009 and was named as Chelsea's new manager the following day. His first season in London ended with the club winning the league and cup double for the first time. Dismissed at the end of his second campaign, Ancelotti took charge of Paris in December 2011. • In his one full season in the French capital, 2012/13, Ancelotti steered Paris to their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years. Left to take over at Madrid on a three-year contract, winning the Copa del Rey and the club's tenth European Cup in his first season, becoming only the fifth coach to win the trophy with two clubs in the process. Madrid added the UEFA Super Cup at the start of the following campaign, the fifth time Ancelotti had won that trophy as player or coach. 2 FC Schalke 04 - Real Madrid CF Wednesday 18 February 2015 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Arena AufSchalke, Gelsenkirchen Legend ALL-TIME STATISTICS The all-time record of the competing clubs in UEFA club competition.

  • 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.

Design/methodology/approach: Extant literature relating to managerial change is identified and discussed to provide the foundations of the discussion of whether managerial change in the EPL which is primarily focused on performance outcome, is neglecting ethical and legal issues. Findings: The loophole that exists in the Employment Rights Act (1996) allows clubs to instantly dismiss a manager and consequently not see out their notice period as agreed in their contract or the statutory notice period. Whilst legally clubs are at will to act in this manner, the instability of EPL management evident today appears to have taken away the rights of an employee.
