Gazzetta dello Sport carried out a statistical analysis on the performance of coaches in Italian football over the last 10 seasons. The study compared the results obtained by hired coaches with the results of coaches who were previously dismissed from the same clubs.
According to the Italian publication, in 76% of the analyzed cases, the newly hired coaches managed to achieve better results than the coaches they replaced. This data suggests that the decision to change coaches may be frequently justified by Italian clubs.
The analysis covered a significant period of time, encompassing a full decade of competitions in Italian football. This large sample aims to offer a representative view of the trends in hiring and dismissing coaches in the country.
The Gazzetta dello Sport study demonstrates that, despite the criticism frequently directed at decisions to change coaches, the statistics support that, in most cases, these changes result in improvements in team performance.
