2015 is approaching its end, so the most visited football news portal in the country, "Eurofootball.com," offers to remember the biggest football events of this year.
This year, many football specialists lost their jobs in famous teams, and the most turmoil was caused by the dismissal of Jose Mourinho. It was expected that this year Louis van Gaal's head would also roll, but it seems that the Dutchman will manage to stay in the ranks of "Manchester United" at least until the beginning of next year.
Jose Mourinho ("Chelsea", 2013-15)
Could any football fans imagine that after a great previous season, Jose Mourinho's leadership of London's "Chelsea" would plummet into a huge hole, and in the new season be among the underdogs? Probably not. Nevertheless, this happened, and the Portuguese, who had mentioned more than once that he would stay in "Blues" until the end of his career, was dismissed on December 17.
Brendan Rodgers ("Liverpool", 2012-15)
In the summer of 2012, with great expectations, Brendan Rodgers took over the helm of "Liverpool" and in May 2014 signed a new four-year contract with the club. Unfortunately, due to very poor results, the leaders of the "Reds" had to accept the verdict awaited by the fans - at the beginning of this season, on October 4, B. Rodgers was dismissed from his position as head coach.
Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid, 2013-15)
The 56-year-old football specialist took over the helm of Real Madrid in the summer of 2013. The first season went amazingly for the Italian - they won the long-awaited "La Decima" and the King's Cup trophies. However, the 2014-15 season did not go successfully, and the "Whites" remained without the most important trophies, so the decision was made to part ways with the Italian in May, even though he had recently signed a contract with Bayern.
Roberto Di Matteo ("Schalke", 2014-15)
Roberto Di Matteo, who led London's "Chelsea" to success in 2012, took over the helm at Gelsenkirchen's "Schalke" in October 2014 when Jens Keller was dismissed. The specialist from Italy did not shine in the German team, but in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals managed to extend Madrid's "Real" with a score of 4-3, although they lacked a goal to reach the next stage. Ultimately, R. Di Matteo resigned at the end of the season.
Tim Sherwood ("Aston Villa", 2015)
Tim Sherwood, who became sadly famous in England, received an invitation to coach the "Aston Villa" club in the summer of 2015. Having already tasted the bitterness of dismissal once, T. Sherwood faced the same scenario in the "Aston Villa" team on October 25 due to very poor results this season.
Nuno ("Valencia", 2014-15)
The strategist from Portugal took over the helm of "Valencia" in the summer of 2014. The first season with the "Bats" eleven went successfully - they earned a spot in the UEFA Champions League. However, a poor start to this season forced the club owners to take decisive action - Nuno was dismissed from his position as head coach of Valencia on November 29.
David Moyes ("Real Sociedad", 2014-15)
David Moyes, who tarnished his reputation at Manchester United, decided to revitalize his career at Real Sociedad in November 2014. The Basque club's leaders trusted the coach and believed he could lead the team back to the top four. Unfortunately, almost a year later - on November 9, 2015 - D. Moyes was dismissed.
Miguel Herrera (Mexico national team, 2013-15)
The emotional Miguel Herrera took over as the head coach of the Mexico national team in October 2013. The former player of this national team succeeded in coaching - last summer, Mexico's eleven triumphed in the North and Central America football championship. However, on July 26, M. Herrera got involved in a scandal when he hit a journalist who criticized him. The Mexican Football Federation had no choice but to dismiss the coach.
Marcelo Bielsa ("Marseille", 2014-15)
Known for his exceptional football knowledge, Marcelo Bielsa began coaching "Marseille" in May 2014. The Argentine agreed to a temporary contract until the end of the season, but after the season, he signed a new two-year contract. This season, the reason for M. Bielsa's departure from "Marseille" was mainly due to discord with the management.
Fabio Capello (Russia national team, 2012-2015)
Former Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello took over the Russia national team after Dick Advocaat was dismissed in 2012. The experienced coach was set the highest goals, but not for nothing - he became the highest-paid coach. Russia participated in the 2014 World Cup, but the Russian Football Federation was not satisfied with the coach's work in the 2016 European Championship qualifiers, so they decided to part ways with him in the summer.
