| Abstract: | The authors examine whether the forced resignation of managers of Dutch football teams leads to an improvement in the results. The find by analyzing 12 years of football in the highest Dutch league that forced resignations are preceded by declines in team performance and followed by improvements in performance. However, the improvementin performance after appointing a new manager doeas not exceed the seasonal average of both the old and new manager. More importantly, using a control group, it turns out that when the manager would not have been forced to resign, performance would have improved more rapidly. The authors conclude from this that sacking a manager seems to be neither effective nor efficient in terms of improving team performance. |
