If the coach was a figurehead, it’s not necessarily his fault or the management’s. What is the likelihood that a serious coach would put Neymar on the bench for violation of discipline? What is the likelihood of Messi getting into the starting lineup and playing more than a half, given that he walks most of the game? I think in the first case 100%, and in the second close to 0% Wink

But they are big brands so the coach did not have the power to act with them as he should have. I don't even blame the management - if the stars are capricious, then the only mistake is signing them. Nothing can be fixed further.

I'm not sure who deserves the blame. A team like PSG needs big stars so that their chances of winning the competition are greater, but having big stars in the squad will certainly add a lot of pressure to a coach when the player has to be on the bench due to a disciplinary violation or decline in performance (except injury).

Recruiting star players is a must when a team wants to win the title. However, the problem is, not all coaches are able to handle the pressure and make all their players unselfish towards each other and have good relationships with each other. I blame the coach for his inability to overcome this problem, but I also blame the management for giving too much freedom to their star players to organize many things.
