The aim is to study the impact of a set of coach and team characteristics on performance and dismissals of managers (head coaches) in the top division of the Italian Football League during seasons 2016-2007 to 2019-2020 (Serie A). In particular, we examine the probability of coaches' survival by employing survival methods and stochastic processes to explore the effects of covariates on coach tenure length. Thus, we capture the variation across the seasons and assess the association between team/coach characteristics and coach dismissals. The set of coach characteristics includes both performance-related and non-performance variables and manager duration. Performance variables include characteristics of teams able to analyze and measure coach or/and team typical performance. Non-performance variables is a group of demographic characteristics related to managers and clubs. Data are extracted from some football websites.

Abstract

The aim is to study the impact of a set of coach and team characteristics on performance and dismissals of managers (head coaches) in the top division of the Italian Football League during seasons 2016-2007 to 2019-2020 (Serie A). In particular, we examine the probability of coaches' survival by employing survival methods and stochastic processes to explore the effects of covariates on coach tenure length. Thus, we capture the variation across the seasons and assess the association between team/coach characteristics and coach dismissals. The set of coach characteristics includes both performance-related and non-performance variables and manager duration. Performance variables include characteristics of teams able to analyze and measure coach or/and team typical performance. Non-performance variables is a group of demographic characteristics related to managers and clubs. Data are extracted from some football websites.
