Football is a result based business and when a team is doing poorly it is usually the manager who has to bite the bullet. Whenever a football club decides to dispense with their manager it usually brings about an upturn in performance and results. This is because the players are eager to impress the new man in charge. They are keen to do well in the hope they will be part of the new regime. In much the same way, a new manager is also keen to do well and stamp his authority on his new charges.
A little known piece of advice never fails to deliver when you are betting on soccer. This scenario is called new manager syndrome and it can be used to great effect when predicting the outcome of football matches. A team that has been playing poorly will be given very generous odds by many bookmakers. Even though they know a change of leadership tends to improve playing standards.
