TransferRoom’s Head Coach Rating explained
by Becca Carr

Make a quick assessment of a Head Coach’s ability, narrow down the field of candidates and focus your recruitment efforts. 

We have developed a new and unique rating to enable clubs to assess a larger pool of Head Coach candidates, fast. Using TransferRoom’s brand new CoachFinder product, exclusive to VIP members, you can view our overall rating of over 5,000+ Head Coaches worldwide.

Where is the Head Coach Rating seen?

 

Clubs with a VIP membership can see the rating alongside other personalised intelligence when they search for Head Coaches on TransferRoom. Clubs will also see it at the top of a Head Coach’s profile. 

 

Here's an example of the rating used within the search area of the TransferRoom platform:

How is the Head Coach Rating calculated?

 

Broadly, a Head Coach’s rating takes into account: 
  • The average Team Rating of clubs the Head Coach has managed - what level does the Coach manage at? 
  • Their impact in the Team Rating - does the Coach make their teams better? 
  • Net spend versus expected spend - do the Coach’s teams spend (or receive) more or less in transfer fees than other teams in the same league? 

All of these metrics are weighted so that more recent matches and managerial roles contribute more to the overall score. 

 

How often does the Head Coach Rating change?

The rating is powered by a sophisticated algorithm based on billions of data points which is constantly improving using machine learning. The rating will adjust upwards or downwards when there’s a significant enough change in any of the inputs listed above. 

 

How can clubs use the Head Coach Rating?

Of course, data will never tell the full story and we would never expect a club to base a decision on a single rating. You will have your own opinion on Head Coaches formed from your existing analysis. 

Instead, think of the Head Coach Rating as a quick objective indicator, available at a glance to give a starting point to your search. Use the rating to narrow down the field of candidates and focus your recruitment efforts. 

Make a fast, data-driven initial assessment and understand which Head Coaches are most relevant for your shortlist. The rating can also be used to sort and filter the 5,000+ Head Coach profiles on the TransferRoom platform.
