Abstract
Using data from professional football leagues in four countries, we assess the effects on team performances following head coach turnover, distinguishing between voluntary
and involuntary exits. We use entropy balancing to deal
with the endogeneity of coach departures, by reweighting
pre-departure covariates to obtain a comparable control
group. Results reveal little, if any, positive effect from either type of turnover, though some longer-term benefits
are possible if teams experience no subsequent turnover.
We discuss how these findings fit with previous literature
and theory, and discuss the wider practical implications.
