“…The increasing number of studies examining managerial turnover using sports data consists mainly of two strands. While the first strand studies the determinants of coach changes (e.g., Holmes, 2011;Salaga & Juravich, 2020;Wangrow et al, 2018) and distinguishes in a small number of cases between coach dismissals and quits (e.g., Bryson et al, 2020;Van Ours & Van Tuijl, 2016), the second strand deals with the effect of coach changes on team performance (e.g., Audas et al, 2002;Bykova & Coates, 2020;Paola & Scoppa, 2012). Because this study examines the determinants of coach dismissals and quits in the context of professional football, the literature review concentrates mainly on studies in this research field.…”
