Some decisions in football are really inexplicable. But Antoine Kombouare's sacking at PSG defies belief. PSG were leading the Ligue 1 by some margin and Kombouare was doing a good job, winning the vast majority of his matches. But Leonardo, the sporting director who's a total idiot, decides that Kombouare isn't good enough and hires Ancelotti.
There is a very simple reason for this: Kombouare isn't a well known manager. He's only known in France and even though he is world class, Leonardo wanted a famous name to take over. This is sort of understandable but if Ancelotti doesn't get good results (unlikely), it has got to go down as the most stupid managerial sacking ever.
I go by several mottos in life, one of which is "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Kombouare was doing very well, PSG were on course to win the Ligue 1, but now who knows what is going to happen. Luckily, because Ancelotti is a good manager, things should continue positively, but if somebody less good had been appointed, what a travesty it would have been. Mind you, it sort of already is a travesty. Kombouare is world class, you only have to look at his managerial record to understand that.
