Economist identifies pattern in Eredivisie: ‘Predictable champion in an unpredictable competition’

According to Emeritus Professor Jan van Ours the Eredivisie (the highest level of Dutch professional football) remains a striking paradox.

Sacking a manager mid-season usually pointless, says Jan van Ours

Dismissing a football manager during the season generally has little effect on a club’s performance.

Irrational managerial changes remain the norm in Europe’s top football leagues

Football clubs routinely conflate short-term match outcomes, often heavily influenced by chance, with managerial competence, leading to inefficient decisions.
Erik ten Hag was sacked by Bayer Leverkusen after only two Bundesliga match games.
