How the coaches change in football: statistics from cies
The Russian Premier League (RPL) is one of the football championships in which coaches have the greatest credit of trust. This follows from the rating of CIES FOOTBALL OBSERVATORY, which ranked the championship depending on the share of mentors working with the club for more than a year. According to this indicator, the RPL is significantly ahead of some leading leagues, including those included in the “large five”. However, it seems that the researchers have nevertheless chosen a rather specific season for her. In previous domestic football, it was distinguished by just the coaching of the Czech Republic inherent in Latin American countries.
Cies Football Observator, an analytical company that is a partner of the International Football Federation (FIFA), I presented a curious ratingillustrating a problem rather relevant for the type. This is the problem of the coaching staff, which specialists from different countries and organizations constantly complain about that the extremely low credit of trust from club management prevents the mentors from focusing on the “construction” and the development of teams, sometimes accompanied by periods of failure. In the ranking of 65 leagues – both higher and second in rank – are ranked depending on the share of coaches in them, who worked with the club less than the calendar year.
In this sense, three Latin American championships are distinguished-Costa Rican, Mexican and Ecuadorian. In general, in general, there are no coaches who took their post until April 2024. Oddly enough, the closest to this three is one of the championships in which managers, in theory, should be aware of the negative effect of sharp personnel decisions. In the Italian championship, which is part of the “big five”, there is only one mentor who leads his club for more than 12 months. This Simone Indzagi From Inter. And the average duration of the coach with one club in Italy is only 238 days.
In the remaining countries of the “large five” loan of coaching trust, however, is significantly higher than the Italian (see drawing). And in Germany, he, as it turned out, is prohibitively high. There are coaches working with the club for more than a year, over 50%, and the average duration of work in one place is 797 days. According to the first of the criteria, the German championship is still inferior to some leagues, in the second-with a margin of the first.
The situation in the classification of the Russian Premier League should be surprised at everyone who has been following it for a long time. The fact is that it seems to refute the thesis of the enormous coaching Czechard in domestic football shared by the vast majority of experts and functionaries. In the RPL, according to CIES, exactly 50% of the coaches spent at least a year in the club.
It is better than ten leagues for the rating, and in the strongest-the English Premier League (Premier League)-it is exactly the same. The average work experience is also quite good – 534 days.
But in reality, these figures are unlikely to be called absolutely relevant. Formally, CIES calculations are correct. At least 12 months in their club, mentors of eight RPL teams out of 16 have currently worked out in their club: Murad Musaev (« Krasnodar »), Sergey Semak (« Zenith »), Marcice PM (Moscow « Dynamo »), Mikhail Galaktionov (« Locomotive »), Rashid Rakhimov (« Ruby »), Zaur Tedeev (« Acron »), Igor Osinkin (« Wings of the Soviets ») and Hassanby Bijiev (Makhachkala « Dynamo »). But for a truly long-at least two years-only Semak, Galaktionov and Rakhimov are in their post from them. And, for example, their clubs were entrusted with Musaev and Bijiev in March and February 2024.
But more important is another. This season is quite specific by the standards of the RPL, the level of managerial “tolerance” in it is high compared to the usual one. He put it, in particular, in just seven coaching resignations along the championship ending in May, which touched six clubs (the “torch” drove the coaches twice), of which two, strictly speaking, had no attitude to sports results: Valery Karpin He left « Rostov » to focus on the Russian national team, and Frank Artig He ran away From the bogged down in debt « Himki ».
In the season, the year before last, they managed to dismiss mentors for purely sports reasons for another nine start rounds. In the past, they were changed in a total of eight teams during the tournament (and Three coaches led the “Sochi”, including Denis Klyuyev, who had the status of the acting, and even “Krasnodar” who had suddenly stolen the golden for gold). Another – Moscow Dynamo – made such a shift before the start of the championship.
