Episode 5 - The Myth of the ‘Manager Bounce’

In football clubs around the world, managers are now only a few poor results away from the sack. It’s a brutal industry, but should the manager’s head always be the first one on the chopping block?    In Episode 5, we discuss the myth of the ‘manager bounce’ - the upturn in form after a new manager comes in. But when results are needed fast for a struggling club, does sacking the gaffer actually improve results?   Rather than the regular hiring and firing that we have become accustomed to, how could clubs use analytics to reassess their approach? We discuss how sticking with the manager in the short term might actually benefit the club in the long term!   Bio link: Gus Poyet Sacking - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdF4oHzHr8A Learn more about your ad choices.
