New coach for SV Horn: Andreas Lipa takes off after relegation
SV Horn has a new coach: Andreas Lipa, who takes over responsibility after relegation from the ADMIRAL 2nd league. This was recently announced via the club's official Instagram account. The change to the new manager comes after the departure of Thomas Janeschitz, who will be in charge of the Admira Academy in the future. Horn's managing director Andreas Zinkel emphasizes that Lipa impressed in the discussions with his expertise and leadership.
Andreas Lipa brings with him a diverse coaching career that includes positions at Vienna, Austria Lustenau and Stripfing. His last engagement was with Bisamberg in 2022. With Lipa, SV Horn should get a breath of fresh air and overcome the negative series after relegation.
Change of coach in football
Coach changes are not uncommon in football, especially when a team's performance falls short of expectations. Clubs often hope for an increase in sporting performance with a new coach. This also applies to the situation at SV Horn, where they are aiming for a new beginning through Lipa.
However, academic studies on coaching changes show mixed results. Sebastian Zart, sports scientist at the TU Kaiserslautern, found in an analysis of around 4,000 games and 150 coaching changes in leagues such as the Bundesliga, Primera División and Premier League that in many cases a short-term increase in performance can be observed. The positive impact of a change of coach can last up to 16 match days.
But as Zart himself notes, every coach needs time to familiarize himself with the team. There is a risk that the improvement in team performance will not last. Unfavorable factors from the previous coach can often be the reason for the temporary increase in performance, and dissatisfaction within the team can be reduced by the new coach, which can also lead to better performance.
The case of Andreas Lipa could therefore be an example of the desired effect of a coaching change. In all leagues, coaching changes often have the potential to provide new impetus that can help teams get out of difficult situations.
SV Horn now has the challenge of focusing on a successful return to the league, and Andreas Lipa has the big task of making this happen.
