Topic: Why do coaches get sacked over poor performance of players? - page 6. (Read 759 times)
If I were to own a club and players were tanking to get a coach fired, I would make sure that those players were banned from the sport for life assuming I could prove it. Other then that though, it's normally a coach's job to get the best out of their players and if he isn't doing that with repeated bad performances by the team, owners usually want to try and go in a different direction vs letting go of the players.
Is it even possible that players will intentionally lose matches because they want their coach out at the expense of their own careers? If this is true, why will the club management reprimand the coach and not the players?
I mean if that's true and the club decided to fire the coach, then we can argue that is the wrong decision to take. But we don't know everything even if some leakers will say A and B, we can't verify them. Unless a proper investigation is conducted and open to the public, all we can use is speculation and rumors. A good club will likely filter out players and managers if any of them make mistakes, no point in backing one over the other if both of them are troublemakers. At the end of the day, you should never assume what a club does is always the right decision, especially if you have people who can lie outright in public for whatever reason. 
It is evident that this mistake does not meet the initial competition target. This is because the players in the squad are also the coach's selection for transfers in or out. Therefore, it is understandable that if the player's performance is poor, the coach will be criticized. If the player being criticized is frequently criticized, the club owner will undoubtedly incur significant losses if the player's poor performance and results harm the club's performance.
I have followed various sporting activities and I noticed something that hardly make complete sense to me and that is the rationale behind firing a coach when the players do perform poorly. What drew my attention to this is a news flash about Jose Mourinho's case in Roma. According to the article, Mourinho left Roma angry and feeling betrayed by the players. Is it even possible that players will intentionally lose matches because they want their coach out at the expense of their own careers? If this is true, why will the club management reprimand the coach and not the players? I know some people will argue that the coach is the leader of the team and should be responsible for building the unity and love the team need to play in high morale, but in a case the players happen to have hated the coach and have decided to lose matches as punishment for their coach, is it right to fire the coach?
