Russell Martin needed police to escort him from the stadium as fans surrounded his car. Graham Potter gets mocked online with edited photos. Ange Postecoglou hears his own fans chanting “sacked in the morning” after just a few games. Arteta is continuously criticized for not winning titles despite his great work at Arsenal. Journalists ask coaches in press conferences if their job is in danger after just two defeats. On social media, many people seem to know better than those who actually coach. Even players now show their frustration towards the coach when they’re subbed off — something that used to be unthinkable years ago. The respect for coaches, for leadership, for the work behind every decision… is fading fast. We can debate tactics, selections, and style — that’s part of football. But what we’re seeing lately goes beyond criticism. It’s personal, constant, and often cruel. Coaches deserve more respect.
