OPINION Monday, August 22, 2016 Coaching, the hardest job in the countryBy Dan EdwardsFor the HeraldRacing’s Facundo Sava becomes first casualty before start of seasonThe Olympic Games extravaganza in Brazil was not the only place in the last week where one could witness a false start. Now the club must start from scratch, with a new man taking over a talented but underachieving group of players. That job insecurity goes a long way towards explaining why the average club values results over playing style, with three defeats almost guaranteeing a change of coaching personnel at any stage of the season. Chances are that the number will be even smaller by the mid-season break in December, as the coaching merry-go-round starts powering up for another busy year of action. Forget politics, or running a top business — running the gauntlet as a Primera División coach is undoubtedly the toughest job going in Buenos Aires and beyond.
