In a summer where some of the biggest clubs in world football struggled to recruit new managers unlike ever before, the likes of Vincent Kompany, having just been relegated at Burnley, landed the Bayern Munich job, meanwhile Enzo Maresca was appointed by Chelsea after just 67 games in senior management.
So in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at the recent trend of low-profile or low-rated head coaches landing top jobs, high-profile and highly-rated managers turning down the elite clubs, and what all of this tells us about some of the trends in modern football.

Watch all of them perform very well
Basically it's not enough that clubs are commercial enterprises they're now being managed like corporations too
Vincent Kompany being appointed as head coach of Bayern Munich is sheer madness
Welcome to Brazilian football
British perspective of football is appalling
You have the money but not the talent and vision!!!!
I thought this video was why clubs appoint Bald Managers 😭
Day 131: The despicable despotic president of Bangladesh Football Federation
In Australia there is a salary-cap which evens the playing field. How important does the manager become then?

Are they the next Newcastle? Are they a team to keep a eye on next few years? Thanks Alfie 😊
When will this insanity end?
Alonso's club before Bayer, Real Sociedad B, wasn't doing that great under him and see what he has achieved. It needs to fit and clubs need to let managers do their thing
Good point about the right fit and doing well with mid table prem team not translating to success at a top team. David Moyes is a great example because I remember listening to post match interviews thinking he doesn’t understand what it means to be Man Utd.
He’d talk about the team like it was Everton. A kind of we don’t expect to win every game mindset. And I’m thinking, no this is Man United, where the culture is to win every game and at the very least expect to. Moyes talked of Man Utd being underdogs. His mentality was the opposite to the culture of expectation the fans, manager (Fergie), media and players had. Which was to win. And that meant being critical of themselves when they lose. And ever since, they’ve never quite got that back.
the analytics are DIABOLICAL!
The comments on Kompany are true but not complete. Perhaps the biggest reason that Burnley underperformed last season was that they tried to play out from the back when they didn't have the players to do so. This though is the style of possession football that a top club like Bayern expect.
Likewise it explains why managers such as Moyes struggled at big clubs. They coach a style of football where their teams are hard to beat, accumulate a lot of draws and more wins than defeats. They are not equipped to produce teams that dominate the majority of games they play.
There is also an explanation why managers turn down big clubs, especially Chelsea. They have seen how Graham Potter's reputation built up over years was completely trashed in a few months. Having won two promotions with teams that did not benefit from high levels of funding, McKenna decided that he didn't want the same fate. Maresca in contrast had only one season in management, where Leicester were the richest team in the division, and crucially Leicester were facing player sales or point deductions in the coming season in the Premiership. He presumably decided that his chances of underperforming unrealistic expectations were as great or greater at Leicester than at Chelsea where the team had finished last season strongly – often a good indicator of success for the coming season.
So ur calling vincent Kompany a bad coach lol wait till he win all the trophies n shut u up
Really love your videos! Will there be any about football at the olympics?
i find it funny how strange i feel seeing xavi and zidane compared as managers while comparing them as players is nothing but fun
I'd love to see Will Still get a Prem gig.
Can we cut the 15-minute intros they're annoying… Or at least place a marker so we can skip them.
I read it "bald" managers, do that please.
Can we please have a video about Maltese Football ⚽ Thank you
Waiting on 'What happened to Girondins de Bordeaux?' and loving the content as always 👍
I just thought after arteta's success, everyone just wants to ride the pep disciples train
Lol
Clubs are run by more than manager now.
He’s not a bad manager, he’s just unproven
Thumbnail is hilarious 😆
think of the variables of a football club as a pie chart and managers/coaches % of the pie has been diminishing over the years.
Do you know anything about football have you played at the top or couched at the top if not bugger off.
YouTube comments are annoying!
It's like people read the top comments and juts copy and paste
Very well made video
Can you please make a video on the fall of Bordeaux. It used to be one of the biggest clubs in Ligue 1 and now they are filing bankruptcy and might not exist anymore.
Dare I ask what consistitutes a "good" association football manager?
I used to be convinced that the impact of a manager was overrated, but I have been proven wrong.
Look at the last championship season – the impact of manager changes was huge and can't be explained by the "new manager bounce"
Another Bordeaux video needed I think
Because business people think they have the answer to everything unfortunately they might be great at figures and organising the same but most of them know sod all about sport. They never learned it they never practised it 7 days a week of playing or practicing they are destroying golf, as well as football and various other sports. you only have to look at games you go to in London £430 quid for a family of four to watch a match. That does not help football it kills it. The price of playing golf 3 or 400 pounds so again the real fans are pushed out what do we get business men cheating away and absolutely useless. Where is there a place for the real golfers to come as kids to practice and become great at being people or the game and doing it with in the laws of the game. Big business is destroying sport simple because they do not understand it.
