Three ways data can help in sacking season<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

We have reached the stage in the football season where many clubs contemplate a change of head coach. Here\u2019s three ways data can help:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Understand points won in the context of what was expected and deserved:<\/strong>\u00a0for example, we projected Wolves to be 19th at this point given a challenging set of fixtures to start the season. They have 1 point but performances have deserved 5; results should naturally improve.<\/li>\n
  2. Identify undervalued candidates without alerting the market:<\/strong>\u00a0our\u00a0World Sports Rankings highlight overachieving head coaches<\/a>; while the biggest names will be out of reach for most clubs, such an approach can ID less familiar but high-performing coaches.<\/li>\n
  3. Generate questions that help truly understand candidates:<\/strong>\u00a0for example, Patrick Vieira has historically struggled to improve in-game positions through substitutions; interviewers could probe him to understand why this is the case and how that could be improved in a new environment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/section>
    \n

    For superstar quality, it\u2019s hard to ignore Europe\u2019s top divisions, which boast the vast majority of the world\u2019s best players.\u00a0 But for sheer excitement, tuning into second tier competitions will rarely disappoint.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
