how much does the coach matter do you think?

Question

do you think he is the reason that a team loses or wins??

Do you think that the captain just helps the player practice..and the winning is all about skills??

Answer 1

The coach is the one that helps the players with stategies and his imput can help the players to use their skills to their best ability.If he's good he will recognise where they are going wrong,their weaknesses and strengths,if youv'e got a crap coach you'll probably have a crap team,but an experienced team at a high level would probably get by.

Answer 2

The coach matters loads. Motivating people is very important. Look at Martin O'Neill and all the clubs he's been at. Look at Villa now. Obviously you need good players but you need a strong leader who gets the players in the right shape mentally and who gets the right comibnation of players for the team.

Answer 3

The coach is a big part of the team because he influences the way a team can think and the way they think. What they say goes and even if they screw up, the team pays the consequences for it in different ways.

Answer 4

The coach is the one who does the team strategy and also improve there skills. He has an important job!

Answer 9

Having same level teams, a more experienced coach is enough to win.
When 15, I had my very first coaching duty. I was in a summer camp, and the local town young team was willing to challenge us. Their older players were 14, so I lose the chance the play. Our team was so far better than them, so we choose to split it in two teams, involving some sub-substitutes, saving sportsmanship and allowing all players to enjoy the competition. The former coach (16) asked me to coach the second squad and I took my opportunity, besides I was untrained in this task. Then, we choose our line-up calling out man-to-man. I was amazed – the former coach won the toss but allowed me to have the best team.
We had little time to training – the first match was scheduled at 7 days, 10 days for the second one, so I choose to avoid technical training, working instead on physio, positioning, movements and tactics, with many 5 vs. 5 match. Having the 2 best forwards and a reliable offensive midfielder, a 4-3-3 tactic was perfectly fitted. The defenders line was better than the opponent one. Both goalies were below average. The first match was Local-Team A. Our friends won as predicted, but with some trouble (to my eyes!!!): chaotic defenders, a forward only, ready to catch long random passes. Unimpressive.
Second match, we easily overcame the local team with great plays. All was working fine.
Thinking about the Team A defensive attitude, I choose to have side forwards playing as wings, to move more freely. Their single forward wasn’t enough to menace mine defenders.
We all were confident in a bright victory and dreamed of an amazing final score.
The match revealed itself such a different thing! Since the start, Team A showed a different attitude, fighting on every ball bouncing around. Our strikers and mids had every time almost 2 defenders marking them as human glue. We continuously try the schemes carefully developed in training, but always those movements were blocked and the ball launched far away in our field. Players were unable to move around in this swamp filled with a defending wild bunch. Slowly, our mids move forward to support strikers. In the second half, I allowed side defenders to move forward too, looking to increase the pressure. As you can easily figure it out, we never had real opportunities to score. The other coach finally decided we were unbalanced enough, switched the more skilled mid as striker, and, at the next long pass, they suddenly scored a goal, easily avoiding our so-called well – trained – in – movements defenders. This was the lesson I learned – it’s meaningless to try an average 13s team to play covering the field as a pro Club, the better fitted tactics are the most understandable. Basic to teach, easy to learn, likely to work. They won because their coach was experienced and I was dreaming of an impressive, great playing team. Childish. Lack of experience.

In Pro football, being a coach is the dirtiest work. Pro Clubs have their own training staff – physio and psycho trainers. The coach is the pyramid’s vertex, choosing the line-up, tactics, schemes.
Few coaches are really stunning, having a completely new way to play. As Italian, I can remember Arrigo Sacchi, he was hired by Milan from Parma, and he had great season between last ’80 and early ‘90s, and next Marcello Lippi in his early Juventus years (3 champions league final in a row!). Anyway, football endlessly evolves, past revolutionary schemes lose their potential day by day. The opponent will try countertactics – or to play as you did. So, Sacchi failed in Atletico Madrid and Lippi failed in Internazionale, before join Juventus again and Italy team.
Sacchi – Milan and Lippi – Juventus were overcoming because they had ALL a team need – world top level players, a great Club (organization, money, training facilities, traditions, staff), a great coach teaching new ways to play football.
As supporters, we can notice only few traits of the coach’ work, i.e. the attitude (defensive / offensive – battling / waiting and so on) and some usual style of play (who likes 2 strikers, who likes a playmaker, who likes side mids moving as wings, who likes one-two players who follow him in the Club he is coaching when leaving the former one…). Many times the coach, when leaving a Club, is working with a whole new line-up and needs to switch his tactics according with new players stats (and sometimes he must have in the starting line up a player he dislike because he’s the crowd hero ;-). Only some coach have a major role in transfer market, especially in PL, in other countries their influence on transfers is so far lesser. They need to eat what the cook early prepared. And many times the Clubs they coached are playing in different ways.
Of course, when supporters – or Club owners – aren’t satisfied with the coach, he will pay in full. And MANY times having a coach sacked isn’t useful at all. In Italy some Club owners are well known as serial coach sackers. Cellino, Cagliari’s President, sacked 4 coach last season (Tesser, Arrigoni, Ballardini, Sonetti). This season, Torino’s owner Cairo sacked De Biasi 3 days before the ship start (!) with a stunning decision, and his replacement, Zaccheroni, had 3 lose, 3 draw, 1 won…
And Cellino and Cairo are beginners in front of Gaucci (former Perugia owner) and Zamparini…

My opinion – some coach are GREAT, it barely needs to check their result, but to have a winning team it needs an unpredictable mix of skilled players – Club management – coach. A revolutionary coach isn’t enough. Sacchi was great in Parma, but he started to win only when hired from Milan.
