Re: Team's Failure, who is Responsible?

As we have seen in the present day reality, the coach takes the major part of the blame and it is the reason why coaches are often sacked after an unsuccessful season and players are not always sold. The coach makes decisions as;
1. Who to play
2. How long to play
3. Formation to play
So, why will the blame come on the players. Although, players obviously have their bad days.

So if it's mainly the coach that is responsible for the players as you stated, so why is it that when a team wins the match, it's mainly the players that gets all the credits for the win, only few times that coaches are acknowledged, why? For me, it's the players that's should take majority of the blame when the lose same way they take majority of the credit when they win.

And probably this is also the reason that coaches are being fired first when teams have problem, like not winning or being eliminated for years. Although there could be circumstances that beyond the coach, like players are injured that's why they played so bad that they've lost even if they are the betting favorite. Players just followed what their coaches design in play. Otherwise if they don't follow it, then it's either they are going to be bench or not given enough playing time. Players might be to blame but it's not totally their fault if coach has other things in mind that's why they lost.

The coach really is like the brain of the team setting the strategy deciding who plays and for how long and choosing the formation but once the whistle blows it’s the players that carry out the plan and people naturally celebrate what they see with their eyes like a striker scoring a last minute goal or a keeper pulling off a big save fans connect to those visible moments more than the invisible tactical work from the sidelines.When a team wins the players become heroes because it’s their effort that everyone notices and that’s why they usually get most of the credit the coach might be mentioned but only rarely does the spotlight stay on them unless they made a bold tactical decision that clearly changed the game.

On the flip side when the team keeps losing the coach becomes the scapegoat because it’s easier for clubs to change one coach than to sell ten players and also it sends a message to fans and media that the club is trying to fix things even though sometimes the real issues are deeper like injuries poor recruitment or just bad form from the squad.Players definitely deserve some blame too because even the best tactics won’t work if the effort and discipline on the pitch is missing but coaches are held to a higher standard since they are supposed to bring out the best in their players and adapt when things go wrong so the cycle continues wins go to the players losses go to the coach.
