Football Facts: New Manager Syndrome

Have you ever notice how a football team’s coach get the blame when the team is not performing correctly? This is actually very natural, especially because the coach – or manager of the team in some terms – is actually in charge of a lot of different things that can influence the team’s performance. Although this may seem like a regular succession, you can also find another interesting fact.

The interesting fact I’m talking about here is the general increase of performance if a team is hiring a new manager. The effect is actually quite prominent – and consistent – and it is known as the new manager syndrome.

If you heard the news about a team manager being replaced, pay closer attention to the team’s performance. You will certainly see an increase in performances over several first matches. This is the result of psychological motivation felt by the team’s players to impress the new manager and keep their positions. They will work harder, resulting spectacular wins over several first matches.

Of course, the effect will wear off as the manager and players settle down and achieve a form of connection. You can see the team’s actual performance again, usually after several weeks of time.

The new manager syndrome is a solid opportunity for sports punters who love to place bets on football teams. Since the effect is found almost at all times, it is safe to say that any team replacing their manager will get a performance boost over the next couple of matches. Bet accordingly and enjoy some healthy profit.
