The reporter reported coldly On the 19th, Denmark coach Julmann voluntarily resigned, and the European Championship ended for a week, and only the managers of England and Denmark left the 24 participating teams. At least at present, only one-third of the coaches who have been fired at Euro 2021 are the lowest since Euro 1988. At least in terms of changing coaches, this year is the "calmest" European Cup in 36 years.

As for the reason, the small and medium-sized teams with a high probability of changing coaches are mainly responsible for the general good performance of this cup competition, and the general shyness of the football associations is that it is difficult to pay the termination fee to dismiss the coach, which is an important economic factor.

Three years ago, after Euro 2021, six coaches left 24 teams: Loew (Germany), F.Deboer(Netherlands), Cherchesov (Russia) and Angelovsky (North Macedonia) have been removed during the European Championships, while Petkovic (Switzerland) and Shevchenko (Ukraine) have left after the European Championships. Euro 2016 was a "coaching hell", with as many as 10 coaches sacking, including four traditional powerhouse coaches Roy Hodgson (England),Bosque(Spain), Conte (Italy), Wilmots (Belgium), and 6 coaches of small and medium-sized teams.

Euro 2012 saw six team changes of coaches, including France (Blanke) and Netherlands (Van Marwijk). In 2008, there were 7 teams, including champions Spain (Aragonés), Italy, Portugal and Netherlands. In 2004 and 2000, there were 9 team coaches, and in 2004, Spain, France, Italy, Germany and Netherlands all changed coaches, which was also the most intensive change of coaches in the history of the European Championship. In 2000, Germany, England, Italy, Netherlands and Portugal changed their coaches, and the hellish index was second only to 2004.

Earlier, Euro 1996, the first time the tournament was expanded to 16 teams, seven teams changed managers, including England and Portugal. In 1992, there were only eight teams in the European Championship, with three teams from France, Netherlands and the CIS changing coaches. At Euro 1988, only Netherlands (Michels) and Spain (Muñoz) changed managers, the same number as today 36 years later, but only one-third of the teams are today.

The number of team changes in this year's European Championship has dropped significantly, first of all, the small and medium-sized teams participating in the competition have generally performed better. Georgia, which participated in the tournament for the first time, reached the round of 16, while Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Slovenia and Slovakia, who also entered the knockout round, also played their own styles. Most of the teams that exited the group stage did not have high expectations for results, with only Croatia, Serbia and Ukraine falling short of expectations. However, Croatia's ageing players are not the responsibility of the coach, and Ukraine have been unlucky, suffering an unprecedented four-team "group of death" in the European Cup.

In the end, these associations chose to continue to trust their existing coaches, and the UEFA Nations League in the second half of the year will be a period of continued inspection for the managerial position. In addition, the expansion of the World Cup has also affected the decision-making of the senior management of the Football Association, the probability of qualifying in Europe has increased, and the UEFA Nations League has been used as a buffer event, leaving many coaches with more opportunities to prove themselves.

As for the teams with poor records, the shyness and inability of the Football Association to fire the coach is the main factor. Italy has changed coaches in three consecutive European Championships since 2000, and only in the last six European ChampionshipsPrandelli(2012) and victorious Mancini (2021) survived. As the defending champions, they were humiliated in the 1/8 finals, but the Italy Football Federation was only deeply disappointed, allowing team leader Gianluigi Buffon to be promoted to sporting director, but did not have the financial means to pay Spalletti's liquidated damages and had to continue to coach him.

Ukraine has also changed coaches for three consecutive European Championships. Although Ukraine did not qualify from the group at this European Championship, coach Rebrov is at least in a solid position for now. Although some Romania media revealed that Shevchenko, the president of the Ukraine Football Association, is contacting the 78-year-old coach Luchescu, the Ukraine Football Association also has trouble paying Rebrov's liquidated damages.

Serbia coach Stojkovic was originally thought to be a sack, and even President Vučić has publicly stated that Serbian football needs to be completely changed. However, Stojkovic just renewed his contract before the European Championship, and the Serbia Football Federation could not afford to pay a $1 million release fee, so he could only remain in office. Perhaps in the near future, there will be coaches leaving the teams participating in the European Championship, but neither the coach's popularity nor the team's influence can be compared with the previous 36 years.
