The coach of the Japanese national team has to leave, Costa Rica, but others will follow. Vladimir Petkovic remains, Joachim Löw remains as well. Petkovic's contract, like Löw's, was extended before the test, the World Cup final, Löw's 2020 to Qatar 2022, while Petkovic's work is safe until 2019 at least. . In both cases, no one can say that the coaches exceeded expectations after the interim vote of confidence.
The national coaching post is one of the best football. The number of games is very clear, between the football look and a long thought. Nevertheless, associations such as the German Football Federation (DFB) or the Swiss Football Federation (SFV) did not wait to see if the national coach had really thought about the tournament in Russia. After all, the SFV has installed a backup in the recent contract renewal: Petkovic is expected to remain only until 2020, when he and his team reached the final of the Euro 2020. However, in the participation massive of 24 national teams, miss a European final is at least as difficult as the qualification.
Organizations that yearn for rest
Early renewals are each declared as a "vote of confidence". Apparently, trust in such cases is not mutually exclusive, because otherwise it should not be redone before the expiry of current contracts, to prevent the national coach jumps if necessary, which would have been little likely, at least in Germany and Switzerland. It is unlikely that Joachim Löw, after 12 years in the comfort zone of a national coach, faces the daily work of a club coach, and a commitment to Qatar, Saudi Arabia or China would be hardly compatible with the meticulous requirements of the Black Forest. On the other hand, the finalist of the world championship Vladimir Petkovic would indeed have had unimaginable prospects.

The "vote of confidence" aims to strengthen the back of the coach. At the club level, such tactical measures are often a last resort before discharge. For associations, in any case organizations aspiring to peace, they should be a sign of continuity, especially to stifle unwanted discussions of people in advance. However, the associations unilaterally expose themselves to financial risks, even without necessity. This is particularly the case of the DFB: after the case of fairy tales, the association had to shell out more than five million euros for an internal investigation report, as a result of which millions of tax burdens have been lifted. Another million for a contract with Joachim Loew would have given as a rich association such as the DFB migraine.
The choice of a national coach is a complicated business, in Switzerland even more than in Germany. So do not question the "vote of confidence" and continue on familiar paths. Guido Tognoni "width =" 80 "height =" 80 "class =" photo "/>
